My Gonyosoma sometimes seem to exhibit a preference for mice over rats. However, if I get rats from a friend of mine they seem to be in much better condition and even my pickiest Gonyosoma eat them readily.

For whatever reason I seem to be able to get mice in good condition. Rats are a bit more trouble.

I believe my friend gets his rats from Big Cheese and Rodent Pro - whichever has them in stock.

Just throwing out a possibility. I have no idea if its actually true or if this applies to the species you keep.
