Hey all.
My 09 Royal had his first rat fluff on his last feed, though I just got back from my local reptile shop and I was told that they don't have any rat fluffs in stock, expecting some next week >.<.
I'm not sure what to do..
Thing is, I do have a medium mouse in my freezer that I got for my corn, one that I've kinda just left there since its a black mouse rather than a white mouse, and my corn has always been on white mice.
Ozzy (my royal) was last fed on 17/8, and I know it's my own fault for leaving getting his food for so long, but I'm not sure what to do. Should I wait until half way through next week to get him his rat fluff, since I just switched him, or should I feed him the medium mouse?.
Also, I'm actually gonna be moving house next week, just to a flat two blocks away, but this will happen around Wednesday-Thursday next week, hence there'll be new smells and stuff. I'm planning on giving both snakes a while to settle in before offering them food then, but I guess this is a factor I should mention.
Thanks in advance!

| Its up to you really. Personaly, I would just wait. Its one of the good points of keeping snakes, it wont harm them to wait a bit. |

That never occurred to me. I'm right next to the city centre, so I'm bound to have a few within walking distance or on a bus route.
I'll ask the internet, and call them up before paying a visit so I'm not wasting my time. Otherwise I'll just leave it.
Thanks for the replies all =). |

Dont use the mouse, he might start refusing rats if you do and you dont want that.....

| won't hurt them to wait an extra week. I occasionally change the dates on feeds with mine (we can pretend it's not cos I forget which day I feed on ;) ) |

Not sure what to do.
