| I have a 3-4 ft corn aged mm about 3-4yrs.... currently in the process of sorting his viv out and giving him something interesting to do.. now prev owner said he feeds on 2-3 large mice every 1-2 weeks.. since having him he has eaten one med mouse and not wanted anymore(relived himself on the towel on my bed the other night so i know he is empty)..... so my question is.. is it worth me continuing with the 2-3large mice or just go up a size or move him onto rats.. really don`t want to do the route of weighing everything in sight as that takes the enjoyment out of it all... |

| rats can be quite fatty so the nutritional content is lower I think. |

2-3 large mice every 1-2 weeks?
Seems like a lot of food for a 3-4ft corn, got any pics of him? |

| Wow - gorgeous snake! I have one about that size and she has 1-2 juve rats every 7 days depending on how hungry she is, they're just a bit bigger than a large mouse if that helps any |
