So, if your baby's mid-section is about as big as a mouse, then go with a mouse. if it is about the size of a rat, go with a rat. capiche?
I know the whole width of the snake bit, but would that mean if the snake is twice as big around as the mouse, then 2 mice, or because they are significantly smaller, would more be needed?
