>>Hi!

>>

>>Question. If most people feed their ball pythons rats when they are older, why do you feed hatchlings mice fuzzies/hoppers? Why not feed them rat fuzzies to start? Is there any benefit to the mice?

>>

>>Tx!



Rat pinkies don't move around much,and some baby balls need the movement to kick in their predatory instincts.

Once that first meal or two has gotten through their system they will then seek out their meals(which is when you just give them rat fuzzys)
