Syco,
For instance, my three BP's won't take a medium rat. But they will take a small rat (~ 85 grams). So to compensate, I feed them two small rats, spread a couple days apart. They actually end up eating more gram-wise this way than if I gave them a medium rat once a week. And it seems they digest them much quicker this way.
I've included a link I found to a recent paper done on nutrient composition of prey. I believe one of the on-line rodent suppliers has a link to a similar paper. I'll post that when I find it. Nutrient Composition of Whole Vertebrate Prey
