does color matter for rats/mice?

marccpaige Nov 04, 2012 03:03 PM

I have noticed that my snake ignores all white mice or rats, frozen or live, it doesn't matter. When I feed her mixed or solid colored, she eats. Is this a known behavior?

Where can I get colored rats online? I have ordered from rodentpro before, but the rats were all white and I ended up throwing away most of them.

thanks!

In my opinion it doesn't matter, but I'm sure there are plenty of people that would disagree.

I belive Rodent pro now has an option to get white or dark colored feeders. I have only had this problem with Ball Pythons and they seem to grow out of it once the get around 500-600 grams and then they eat everything at least with mine anyway.
