hello? does any body know or was this just a really stupid question?

I wouldn't.

Once they are older they need to be fed more and more vegetables. And I don't think they eat rodents naturally.

Even if it WAS good idea, it would be a total mess in the tank. I would skip it. IMHO

I fed a pair a full grown mouse once very entertaining! But messy. I have fed them pinkies once in a while. It is totally fine as a treat. Also gold fish once in awhile. Worms etc. They do eat some meat in their diets. not to much because it can be bad for them (to much protien).
