From what I am reading, they would actually be getting more protien from several large mice than they would one large rat. Right now they are eating one large breeder mouse every 3 days. They are growing like crazy, they were a little on the thin side when I got them but they are looking good now! No reguritations,pooping about every 2 weeks (does that sound right?) From what I have read the wild BP eats Gerbil type rodents, goes into the burrow, cleans out the inhabitants and then rest there to digest. That is several small meals isn't it? : ) I guess I'll just keep a good watch on them and if they seem to be not gaining enough weight on mice I will switch them to rats. If there is anything I hate is to see an adult BP that hasn't been fed enough and they don't have that wonderful plump BP look to them. Thanks for all the advice, you guys are wonderful.
