I start everything on mice, main reason is that I get a higher success rate of hatchlings taking their first meal the first time offered. Once they had their first 2 to 3 meals I switch them to rats.
As for animals fed mice or rats, grams per grams for animals like BP it's all the same as there is not nutritional requirement study that has been made.
