how mice are 'supposedly' alot easier to digest, especially for a baby boa, and even moreso for baby bcc, which we know can be sensitive to feedings as a neonate.

my thoughts were, I used to not want to even have any mice, and solely use rats, and this worked fine, even having babies starting on rat pinks.

then over time, I realized the babies would thrive better, digest better and quicker, starting on mice.. you wouldn't see those 'half digested poops' at all.

especially with bcc, and smaller, dwarf, and insular bci.
