I have two ball pythons, a male and a female about 7 and 8 years old I have only had them a couple of weeks and have managed to get them both to eat 2 adult f/t mice each, I was wondering if it is ok to feed them mice instead of rats every couple of weeks.

I breed my own mice but once the pythons are in their new homes I can either use their old viv for more mice or I want to know whether it would be better to breed rats for these instead, I also have 4 eggs in the incubator as well.
