Gram per gram of prey it all THE SAME, the reason why people encourage others to feed rat as soon as possible is simple because when the snake get larger it will require multiple prey which make it inconvenient for many and some times cost prohibitive as well versus feeding a simple prey like rat.

Snakes do just fine on mice again it's mainly a matter of convenience in the future.
