I've managed to confuse myself! Aysha has outgrown her rat pups and I'm unsure as to what the next step up is for her.

I understood that I should keep her on rats as she could get too used to mice and refuse larger rats when older, but some people head to mice as a middle step.

I am right in thinking that she should only be fed food as wide as her widest part, right? Unlike corns and kings who take size and a half of their widest part.

Any advice or experience would be greatly appreciated - I know you're all secret boa lovers ;)

We got ours as an adult but she switches regularly from rats, to guiney pigs, to rabits and back again depending on what the pet shop has in at the time lol. I don't think they're notoriously fussy.

I can't get hold of rat fuzzes so I've moved mine onto small mice, then I'll go large mice and then back onto rat hoppers when the time comes :)

yep as gmac said same as the widest part.
douht you will have a problem switching from mice to rats with a boa, mine has gone from guinea pigs to rats to guinea pigs an back to rats again no problem
