I feed small weaner rats to Sid and Patrick mainly because the mice in our local pet shop are so small I would need to feed 3 in one feed. And they sell them as large mice! So its actually cheaper for me as well.

I feed rats to Croc because she's skinny, and Casper might get one once every few months. But mice for all the others.

I used to, don't now. Might do it again one day, if anyone needs a bit of fattening up but I don't see any point at the moment for corns to have rats when they do on mice fine, less confusing for me :) plus due to feeding weaner rats every 2-4 weeks one of my guys got obese. My fault but they stack on the weight quiet fast! Plus Corns don't really need that much food, like a medium mouse every 2 weeks can do some adult fine.



A very special super, duper thanks for K :3

i wouldnt use rats as a main source of diet for corns, the biggest size rat a fully grown corn could manage is a large weaned rat anyway but them rats seriously contain alot of fat, my snake blake only every ate 2 in his life, they just are not worth it, even tho it is impressive to see a corn eat a larger than average meal. id say stick to mice as a main source of diet but the odd weaned rat once in a blue moon shouldnt hurt.

Sorry to say this but...
LOL!!!!!

I think the majority of this forum knows what you feed, and it is down to your choice and what you like to feed, I have nothing more to say on this subject apart from I will feed mice, not because of any health benefits or because I think they are better but simply because they are cheaper! :P My views on this along with many other subjects are now in fact neutral! xD
