| Today's feeding day, for the small ones. I coundnt get my hands on some rat crawler so I got mice. The question is do you think crawler or mice are better food, to add weight to your snakes. I think crawlers because there more body fat. | |

| I agree. I've been told ASFs work best to get snakes up to weight. But, if the only choice is rats or mice, I'd go with rats. | |

| I agree with Don I prefer rats.... I wont feed mice period... I do have one picky eater that I will be starting to feed asf's this week I'd prefer for her to eat plain rats... but being a female I need her to put some weight on... Honestly it might sound bad but if it was a male I'd more than likely would keep him on rats... and wouldn't offer asf's... | |

| I would say rats also. If you take a rat pup and a mouse sitting side by side that look the same size the rat pup weigh more than twice as much. | |

I get that. If I had a picky female I would totally consider going to ASF's because it is a female. If one of my males doesn't eat I just say "Oh well! Maybe you will be hungry next week!" If one of my girls doesn't eat I say "Oh crap! Is the heat right? How about the humidity? I don't see any mites. Maybe if I slather BBQ sauce on your rat, you will eat it? No? How about I dress your rat up in a nice metrosexual outfit and teach it how to dance? Will you eat it then?" Let this be a lesson to the rest of you. When someone says "Why do you treat a boy different than a girl?" BECAUSE!!! They are different!! Besides, boys don't like BBQ sauce on their rats. | |

That's funny you mention BBQ sauce, because we were discussing the KFC grease method this weekend. My brother didn't believe that people actually have had success using it on rats. | |
