I have an adult ball who eats mice. What a pain!!! What one medium rat does for my other balls is a struggle to get the same sized snake to eat multiple mice. And my ball who likes mice is quite "small"(as far as adults are concerned, he is a male), I can not imagine if my big female liked mice-- she would need three or four to equal a small rat.

Balls are super picky. Once you go to rats, stay!! Almost all of my snakes are on rats. It guarantees that the bigger they get, the more options you have opposed to mice.
