More of a question than a problem, really. Is it ok to feed a young, growing corn snake rat pups? If not, why not? I have a roughly 16 month old female palmetto who's around two feet long (+/-). The rat pups are between 1 and 3 days old and aren't too big for her (less than 1 1/2 times her largest diameter). Is there a reason I shouldn't do this? I've heard two different stories. One on each side of the issue. Some say that rats are too fatty for corn snakes and shouldn't be fed. Others say that for a growing corn snake, rat pups are more nutritious than mice. Your thoughts... experience... TIA!
