Well Mykee if you really have to ask , that was information given to myself when I first started with snakes by several of the users on this very page.

Don't believe everything you read. Your job is to take it all in and toss out the junk after you have done your own research.
Mice and rats are almost identical nutrition wise.
Rats just get much bigger.

Yeah I looked into how great rabbit was and noticed there realy isn't much difference other than size unless your comparing young rats to adult mice the mice have slightly more calcium. Rabbit is great but mot many if any balls could eat even a small bunny. I do small bunnies as treats for 3 of my snakes. Rats are still the cheapest way to fly and the best value.

Some of my corns will eat pinky rabbits, I tried feeding one of my balls a fuzzy rabbit but he turned his nose up at it, he prefers his rats I guess. now if only that darned spider girl would start eating the rats, I'd be happy!!
