Switched Stella to Rats!

I didn't have any appropriately sized rats to feed her when I got her, so I started her mice instead. Now that she's grown a bit, I thought she might be able to take one of the smaller rats I had in the freezer.

I have to admit, I was slightly worried that she might prefer the scent of mice after having several of them. Glad to see that she isn't the picky type!

Here's a short video:

Awesome, she's a beauty

Cool video, glad she took to the rats so easy. I want to switch Namira to rats but the smallest my local pet stores have is small adult rats, which are still too big for her.

Congrats on the easy transition!

I'm not a fan of ball pythons, but yours is something else. Her pattern and coloration is(pardon by bad pun) stellar. Glad she took the rats so easily too.

sweatshirt, thanks! How's miss Magenta doing?

that1guy, I see. Maybe you could order online? I breed my own feeders, so my supply issues are always in house.

sharthun, thanks! I met a fellow hobbyist the other week who was having issues shifting his pastel female to rats and I got a little worried myself. All is well.

CosmicOwl, I appreciate the kind words. Thank you. I think she's pretty stellar as well!
