Hey, I've Been feeding my royal both mice and rats, to give it some variety, just wondering which one in general is better for him or does it not really matter? He's a little underweight so trying to figure which will benefit him most :)

Hi . Mine are on mice at the min but will be going on to rats very soon. Rats have a higher fat content than mice so if you want him to put weight on I'd advise sticking to rats.

Rats grow much larger and when the royal's adult, it's more convenient to feed one rat instead of several mice, so I keep mine on rats.
