PLEASE excuse my ignorance!!! I just became a new Albino Ball Python owner, and I simply adore him!!! He feeds on live mice easily but wanting the best for him, I want to know what all the fuss is about regarding thawed vs. live, rats vs. mice. Is one more nutricious then the other? I know the concern over battle scars is a reason to feed thawed, but since my snake easily kills mice, what other reasons are there! The pet store closest to me has mice redily available so that is the reason I feed him mice- plus he kills them fast and eats them, no prob. And, how do you train one to eat thawed rodents? Id rather keep a live mouse in alittle critter cage if he dosen't eat it, then throw away refused bodies. As he gets bigger I know the larger rats will be better, but why can't I just feed him more mice instead? I don't want him to starve! I love the little guy! Thanks for your patience with this new and concerned owner!
