PetsMart sells the "Arctic Mice" (brand of frozen mice) and they are offered in packages of Small, Medium and Large. The small are 6 to a box and typically weigh about 8 grams each. The Medium weigh in at about 13 grams each and the large are about 20 grams. I used the small and mediums in place of "Hoppers." Just start out with the small, and after a few feedings go up to the mediums.

There is also a pet store in my area, a local store not a chain, and they specialize in snakes and have all kinds of frozen rodents. I was driving out there and buying, but decided recently to just use the PetsMart mice.

Regardless of how the mice are packaged or what they are called, if you base your feedings on weight, then who cares what it's called? Right?

Obviously if you buy a box of 6 mice at PetsMart and the "Contents weigh 45 grams, then simple math tells you the mice are 7 to 8 grams each....etc...

I use petsmart right now. Never looked at the weight. So I'll be moving my girl to those soon. She's 43 grams right now. Can't believe she was a mere 17 grams when I got her in July! The fuzzies are getting to be too small for her. They disappear so quickly. I have one more fuzzies left. Guess I'll do another box of those them probably be ready for the small mice.

if your snake weighs 43 grams right now she can handle the arctic Mice Small (just make sure the box is 6 mice @ 45 grams.) that's equal to a hopper. When she reaches about 75 grams, bump her up to the medium ( a box of 4).
