True dat.

Will this be good for my ATB? It would pretty much be held at fuzzy rats for most of it's life, I guess that's not bad.

Interesting. He doesn't like f/t, he really wants to hunt and kill. Fuzzy rats won't pose much of a threat and would better?

Sure. Most fuzzy rats don't have the instinct to bite back yet so that's a great size for sensitive snakes like ATB's. Start out with a peachfuzz rat and then move up from there.

You may have an easier tim e finding a "peach fuzz" rat by asking for a fuzzy....lol..

I would have to agree with Mykee , I have been doing this for along time and once they hatch out and go through there shed I will also feed them a med size mouse and again as Mykee stated I prob do this for about 5 or 6 feedings and then right to fuzzy to eye just opening rat pups and the switch over is very easy. Man pinky mice????? way , way , way to small........
Thanks
