    Ordering frozen mice/rats : Question

    I am not really familiar with the terms used other than the FAQ about mice/rats (It gives age and the names associated).

    What size mouse or rat should I order for a BP that is about 18" long? About thick as a nickle roll.

    Thanks,

    BTW I have read threads on everything from general to genetics on here for the past week or so and this place is filled with knowledge!!! Thanks for such a wealth of information!

    I'd say a rat fuzzy or pup around 15-20 grams.

    Re: Ordering frozen mice/rats : Question

    You need to feed a prey lightly smaller than the girth size widest part of your BP's body.

    However before ordering bulk make sure your BP is converted to F/T first, not all of them will take F/T and some will take time to switch (same if you change prey type).
