hi everyone just wondered if there is any benefit to feeding your royal mice as aposted to rats and vice versa?

We kept our royal on mice for the nutrition for the first ten months then moved him onto rats for their size after that. He moved over quite happily, greedy little pig.

my corn must be strange...one meal it'll have a mouse, the next a rat fluff/pup, and the next a chick. he's never refused a feed even when in shed

From what I believe mice give more nutrients which is better for younger royals,
And from what I have heard and seen rats are good for fattening up your royal

Also I have read n many places about many snakes that the swap between mouse to rats can be difficult as blackskull says above

personally i feed mine rats as there is a chance they will become addicted to mice and will need feeding multiple mice when they are bigger instead of one rat of the correct size

when i bough sully he was a mouser and it took me a long time to get him on rats
