anything. But what I do know is I was forced to feed my farmed Nicaraguans that I received last year mice. Unfortunately I lost two of them. They grew extremely slow, only shed twice in about 8 months and looked very skinny despite eating several mouse fuzzies a week. As soon as I finally fot them to accept rat pinkies their growth rate exploded. After only five weeks of eating rat pinks the majority of them were ready to move up to pups and have all shed at least two times. This is the same amount of times they shed in the 8 prior months. To me that makes rats the winner be default.



However I will say that the snakes who are eating rat pinkies will have much more runny poo at least until they get into pups and fuzzie rats. Well worth the extra cleaning in my book.



Thanks for listening to my rambling.

Just my opinion, yata yata yata
