Hey everyone,
I switched my snake over to rat pinkies because the petstore had a rat give birth recently and they froze all of them. They were totally fresh out of mice pinks (or anything smaller than adults for that matter). Though it was on the bigger end of the acceptable size, she ate it no problem (and for the first time in a long while, she's hanging out on the warm side of the tank).
Anybody know the nutritional differences between rats and mice? Which are more fatty, more nutritious, more accepted etc? Preference for mice over rats and reasons?
Funny thing was, she was ignoring the thing initially, until I dragged it across her tail and she struck and coiled and knew exactly what to do.
