I believe rat pups have a bigher fat content than mice. However, if you are only feeding once or twice till you can get some mice, then I would not think this would be a problem.

agree with flatpack. also, if they are coming in stock within about a week of when the feed is due, it wont hurt to let him go hungry.

Mhmm, snakes have excellent stores in them they can go for months without food, as said in previous posts, they don't know when a rat is gonna come along.

it might do him a bit of good. keep him active when he's "hunting"
