I have to agree with Dan. (I hate to... He gets all arrogant when he's right!)
If you must first get rid of alot of F/T Pinks, tear the skin on their backs and put a pinch of powdered calcium in the pouch formed.
I've read somewhere to stay away from calcium with D3, but I've never seen a difference.
.
In nature a young ratsnake's diet is rarely all nestling rodents. There are usually a good amount of tree frogs and lizards. They can be raised fine on mice, but the more mature mice have more going for them.
Try this for fun:
