Mice, Im led to believe that although rats have more nutrients or something they also have more fat so can make a fat snake, they are good to feed every once in a while but this can lead to your snake refusing to eat its mice in future. Im not so sure how accurate this is but I THINK thats how it goes. Hopefully in a moment someone who knows a little more can help you.

I think most of us on here tend to feed mice. Rats are ok but they do have a higher fat content. |

I've heard the same. Mice for corns, and don't feed rats or they'll get addicted, but rats for royals and don't feed mice or they'll get addicted ... I did used to think rats were supposed to be more nutritious for corns because I'd been reading up on the royal forum.
I have yet to start my royal on rats. Wish me luck. I know someone whose son used to have a 6ft corn snake (died of old age) and he really disliked rats. Sounds like he did pretty well on a diet of mouse! |
