My Royal Python is eating ex large mice, I have bought some small rats.
If my Royal will eat the rat, which one of the two will give my snake the most vitamins.
Can I have thoughts on the subject please.
Rats are a much better rodent BUT a mouse every now and again will help maintain nutriants that a rat doesn't contain so in short feed both but rats mainly
personally i used rats as my first choice for ball pythons just because they are bigger item of food... also you get better growth/size when feeding rats. gerbils would be my second choice. at the moment i'm currently growing some hatchlings on using just multimate-mice as the adults are about the same size as a small rat
regards
