Hi!
Why must Burmese not be fed mice? I didn´t know this. Please explain someone.
Cheers,
Mickey

they're too small...
Baby burms can eat rat crawlers right out of the egg. Even ball pythons will eat rat pups right out of the egg and never eat mice.

It's not that they can't be fed mice it's that baby burmese are larger snakes even when first born, large enough that they can take rat pups. Rats are also more nutrious.

Thank you chaps for taking the trouble to reply. I will feed my two young burms on rats from now on.
