Pardon...these are not in their proper order...I must have been thinking in circles...

2.) I DO breed my own rats
1.) I feed f/t or f/k...but, I won't let a snake starve either. If it hasn't been weaned onto f/t yet or is extrememly stubborn, I may feed live, though nothing larger than a hopper rat, and usually only rat pinks/crawlers...only those that are really too young to think about or be able to bite. But, I DO wean everyone to f/t or f/k as soon as possible.
5.) I DON'T feed mice to rats...Hadn't heard of that one...I was assuming you were joking and laughed over it. Of course, if you weren't joking, I think I would have to pick my jaw up off the ground. I have fed my rats super worms, crickets, butterworms, etc. before...they seem to love to catch prey.
4.) I definately prefer feeding rats to mice. I no longer breed mice.
3.) I too have notice that snakes grow much quicker on rats. Not sure why...just know it is so.
