Rat vs mouse nutrition?

tsusnakeguy Dec 10, 2008 07:01 PM

I was wondering where I could possible find a chart or web site that tells the difference in nutrition between feeder rats and feeder mice. I would like to know the actual numbers between the two and maybe between the different sizes of the two. I would appreciate any help. Thank you.

yes but what is the size of the mouse and the size of the rat. I can not figure that part out. That chart seems a little hard for me to grasp.

Simple question which is best to feed my boas, a rat or a mouse? believe it or not i was told rats of all sizes were best to feed snakes it makes them grow bigger and healthier.

do you believe everything your told? im no expert but people have gone in way over there head with our ectothermic friends because of what there (told) instead of doing the reaserch as well
im not trying to get on your case or start an argument im just trying to get a point across.

let me tell you something before boas i dealt with milk snakes and there were people who had 4-5-6 foot honduran milksnakes that just feed thier snakes rat pups to adults rats and thier snakes turned out enormous. "(no mice)"

RgK619 Dec 13, 2008 06:40 PM

sorry i wasnt saying you were wrong about the rats i was just saying that most of the time doing a great amount of reaserch is better than what somebody at a pet store would TELL you lol
