Hi there guys,
Just a general question.
Do you prefer to feed your corn adult mice or small rats.
Is there any real difference or does it even matter.
I read that the rat pinkies and pups are better than the adult mice because they have less fur(no nutritional value on fur).
What do you think?

I think rats are a little more fatty, but at the same time, they have more muscle and bone (protein + calcium). So it's like lets say comparing a diner style bison burger (good for you), compared to a McDonald's cheeseburger (not so good for you). If you can get your snake to eat rats, go for it, but some won't take to them so readily.
