Hi there,

I negleted to say that our results where best with small rats. When you start using bigger rodents the snakes take longer to strike, and some rats dont even get eaten. Some of our WC picky eaters just strike at med rats as if they where scared. Its seems that they are turned off by the larger ones. Weanlings are quickly devoured, as with small. I guess its because they are used to eating rodents compareable to the AR, with respect to size. And its true, you will have to feed each one 2 or 3 a week to sustain average growth rates.
