Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I was just wondering what the nutritional difference is between the two? I posted in the feeders forum but nobody really talks there much so I am putting it here as well. I was told that rats are more nutritous but I am curious why..and will it really be worth spending 2.5 times as much per rodent?

Battling ignorance one stupid person at a time.

Current snakes:
0.1 Licorice Stick Black Rat(Lola)
1.0 Neonate Black Rat (het for Lic Stk's) (Frankie)
1.1 Texas Bairds (Jose and Rosa)

I don't have the scientific backup offhand but I've heard that too. I always raise rat snakes on mice and then change them over to rats (with no problems) when/if they get big enough to at least eat small adult rats. At that size the cost per ounce is about the same as mice; larger rat sizes are even better costwise.
