digestion

[spoolin83]

i went to my nearest pet store to get a couple pinkies and they had a bigger rat pinkie for my normal thats a little bigger, i fed her saturday, monday she had already passed it, is there a difference in rat pinkies that makes them digest them faster, are they ok for them?

They are OK. Just get the right size pinky for the snake girth.

Rat Pink's have more nutrition then mice pink's. If your snake can take a rat pink, it could probably take a mouse fuzzie.

What is the nutritional difference between a rat pink and a mouse fuzzie?

Just curious.

No she didn't. She passed either the previous meal, or the one before that. If you stop feeding your snake you will see it poop for a couple weeks afterward.

Thank you! I'm raising mice for my baby, but will NOT raise rats(deathly afraid of both, but mebbe less afraid of mice fuzzies vs rats..lol) My daughters feed the snake if we run out of lunch bags to put the aliens in....lol

Personal preference really. If your snake handled a rat pink fine, it could probably take a fuzzy. Get what you want to feed him, as long as he eats.
