Pinky Rats Vs Hopper Mice

Which would have more nutritional value to feed my baby water or are they about the same?

I would think that hopper mice would have more calcium and nutrition than the pinky rats would. Since the mice are older and have had more time to build there bones and absorb vitamens from there mother. I'm not sure if this line of thought is correct though, but I do feed older mice over younger rats to my caimens, gila and monitor though to hopefully give them better whole meals.
