    Re: What types of mice/rats should I get according to a BP's width?

    Sorry but a BP will never need anything larger than a medium rat even the biggest 4000 grams females, feeding anything larger is unnecessary will contribute to overfeeding, fast and very sluggish animal after feeding. Those are animals that have a very slow metabolism once they rich adulthood, and smaller weekly is better.

    OP this is the chart you want to look at not the one previously posted.
