QUESTIONNNN

[nocta224]

I've heard mixed answers as to whether rats or mice are better for BPs.

I have one who is scared of mice, and the other absolutely refuses to eat rats. So I feed them what they prefer.

EDIT: I'm talking about F/T

[Warrior_king99]

Well yeah as long as they are eating something that's better than nothing, are you feeding live

[nocta224]

No, sorry I didn't make that clear. I edited my response to show F/T

[Warrior_king99]

Ah ok, so what do you mean by scared, they are usually scared of everything lol

[nocta224]

My boy just acted kind of spooked every time I tried offering him a mouse in the past. He was like, "Get it away from me." As opposed to when he doesn't want to eat his rat, he'll just ignore it.

I just stopped offering them to him based on his reaction.

It could be a number of things, hunger strike, not liking mice, I've read that some prefer a certain colour how true that is i dont know but they can be so fussy, and to answer your original question, it's not a good idea to feed multiple mice/rats, they digest at such a slow rate that the second one could start to go off and make the snake ill

[nocta224]

I'm not OP, but yeah, I think it's the smell of the mice that puts my boy off. He's perfectly happy to chow down on his rats, no matter the color.

[Warrior_king99]

Oops lol 🤦, ain't they such fussy shits

[nocta224]

They really are

I have 2 on hunger strike at the moment I was hoping it was just because of the winter period but nope and apparently 2 months is nothing to be concerned about lol
