Corns are fine on mice, even the biggest Corn 2-3 large adult mice will suffice for a feed. Some will not even take rats, other go back & forth no issues.
A bigger BP on the other hand can take anywhere from half dozen to a dozen mice at a sitting Vs a couple rats.
Costs more both time & effort wise to feed mice & some state concerns over the fat content in say a 1/2 dozen mice Vs a rat which could be debatable?
Personally I don't think there is a huge issue other than it more time & money & more "lives" as well too I guess could be a concern?
Some snakes are hesitant to take multiple prey items too so if a BP will only take one or two items mice may not cut it when it gets larger if thats the case. Cheers Mark
