MICE OR RATS IS ONE BETTER THAN THE OTHER

FOURFEETBALLS Nov 15, 2003 05:22 PM

I'm just starting out with BP's just wanted some input on what is better to feed them, rats or mice? Is one really any better for them or is it the individual's choice (the owner I mean)? I have a couple that eat either or, and others that can't wait to get away from the rats like they smell bad or taste bad or some thing.

I would say it would be up to you, and what you can get them to eat.

Personnaly, im getting mine switched to Rats as quick as possible, simply due to the fact that I dont think i would like feeding 4-5 mice at one feeding.......why not just feed one rat. Its just easier on me.
