Do all adult Balls eat rats, or do some of you feed them adult mice, and how do you determine which?

It all depends on what type of food it was raised on. If it is a WC adult, it will more than likely have trouble feeding on anything you throw at it at first. Snakes that were raised primarily on mice will have a difficult time switching to rats. Also, some snakes will eat only live, where others will take fresh killed or frozen thawed food items. You have to find out what it was eating, and make sure the food item is the appropriate size (use the snakes thickest part as a guide). Hope this helped, good luck.

Thats weird because all of my snakes eat anything i give them
