Hello!This is always been a matter that I really never understood completely!We are all concerned with our boas well being watching their temps an humidity an all of the basic husbandry!Watching how much an what size of prey item one is feeding their boa's!Now the confusing part[smiles]With all of the pampering we give our boa's,Why feed mice period?It is a proven fact that a rat is alot healthier for our Boa's than a mouse is!!Ive never fed my boa's mice,they have eaten rats since they were litle ones!For example you have been feeding your boa large mice right?And are now ready for the switch ok a weaned baby rat that is just ready to leave its mothers side is the same size as a mouse!When you get your boa to taking this size rat with no problems then move up to the propper size that you need to be feeding your boa!Offer it a PK RAT this usually will kick the feeding mode in with no problems then make the switch to frozen thawed!Hope this helps you,plus any input from anyone on this subject would be great!Thanks Charles[HYPOBOA]
