No doubt there are exceptions to every rule and many individual Pits can go back and forth on either mice or rats every other week and not miss a beat. On the other hand I have seen more than my share of mousers to know that this is a road I would just as soon avoid. It is a very real situation that exists with some individual Pits. IMO, I see no reason to even take that chance. Start them on rats and keep them there and it never becomes an issue. Feeding a large adult Pit on hand fulls of mice at each feeding can get rather expensive when compared to feeding it one appropriate sized rat. Just my thoughts.
