First off, I am not putting a dollar value on the "happiness" of my snake or am I looking to compromise his health. I was just asking the question as he has already been eating mice as well. He won't take dead food so I have to feed him live so the rat is a greater risk to him. I would just as soon feed him more mice if that is equal to one rat. BTW... so far he has adjusted nicely to weekly feedings so that is a plus as well! I wish I could order bulk feeders but my wife absolutely refuses to let me keep them! I can only get them the same day as feeding. HEHE.

Peace.
