I've got a young Dumeril's that absolutely inhales pinky or fuzzy rats the second I put them in front of him, but he wont touch small mice.

My question is, is this likely just a preference of rats over mice or do you think he is afraid of something full grown with open eyes and teeth, even though the mice are smaller than the fuzzy rats he eats?
