If you're going to feed rats a medium will do just fine for life.

On the mice vs. rat debate, you're comparing a rat to a single mouse. Not multiple mice.
For example, if a single rat has a 50% fat content (for arguments sake I'm using easy numbers) and a single mouse has a fat content of 5% then I could argue that 10 mice would equal the same fat content. Therefore feeding multiple prey items would also be okay.

It boils down to common sense with math. I'm not trying to be a hard *** but your statement is so obviously flawed that someone has to be blunt and tell it like it is.




Good point.

I respect your opinion but have to disagree to an extent. It would also depend on size of snake and size of prey item. Not to mention the unrealistic analogy of a full grown BP eating10 mice to achieve the same nutrients as a jumbo rat.
