Best Food for BP's

[rabernet]

Good resourse thanks. I bookmarked it.
Mouse, domestic Crude protein 55.8 crude fat 23.6 gross energy kcal/g 5.25? Adult or >10 g


Rat Crude protein 57.9 crude fat 23.7 gross energy kcal/g 5.30? Neonatal, <10 g

Very interesting indeed.

So, what if a BP only REQUIRES 40% protein in their diet? Then both are equally nutritious to a ball python.

The flaw in this poll is that no one has done a study on ball python nutritional requirements, so no one can definitively say one prey item is better than another. Just because something is higher than another in something doesn't make it better. Vitamin C is good for you - but too much isn't.

I voted for "Whatever your snake will eat" - oh wait, that wasn't an option.
