Which would be better...large mouse or rat pup?

rat pup: less fat, more meat.

Personally I'd try to switch to rats, as it will be a lot easier to offer one rat when she's larger vs. multiple mice per feeding. There are a lot of great resources on here about making the transition. I've had success thawing a rat and mouse in the same bag so that the rat is scented. With our pickiest BP, we had to do this I think 3 times before he just started accepting the rats as is. Everybody else either took rats right away or we only had to scent the rat once.

Well then guess what Mia is getting next feeding...
Usually feeding is Friday nights but she's off normal schedule because her last shed took longer and she flat out refused to eat for 2 weeks.

Feeding is Tuesday now..unless she's out cruising and looks hungry my son may feed her sooner.

Thanks for all the advice. I'll le y'all know how the rat goes!
