I chose most of the above. I have two snakes that will only eat mice (for some reason they simply decided they no longer wanted rats).
I have some that LOVE ASF and now turn up their noses at rats.
And some that will eat whatever I put in the tub and praise the lord cause dinner's ready!
Then there are the "die-hards" that only want rats and nothing else will do.
Finally, I have ONE that will eat NOTHING but gerbils...sigh.

I acquired a female pastel recently and the smell of mice actually ticks her off. From frozen to live, she avoids them like a cat avoids a vacuum cleaner. Then I said "what the hay" and tried a rat pup. BOOM the strike, the meal, the satiation. This is just another reason to put onto the list of non-mammal creatures inhabiting personalities and making choices, especially with food.
P.S. Mice are evil anyways.. I fed my breeder male and female leftover corn muffin crumbs and they started brawling it out.. even when she's the bearer of his children. Sheesh!

I voted most of the above, though in fact it's only half of the above.

I'm feeding my ball small rats at the moment. I was feeding her one mouse a week. But decided to see if she could handle a rat. She did with no problem.

I feed mostly ASFs, and a few rats...I used to feed mice, too, but I don't have any live ones anymore. I've killed off most of my rats, because they weren't producing, so I'm only feeding a few cages worth of those (soon to be decreased by 2 more, after I knock off that last group, and give the leftover small ones to my live feeders. - that will leave me with 3 boxes of live rats)
*I know that isn't what you meant, but it is what was asked....

From rat pups to small rats and jerboas. Mice only if they don't have jerboas big enough(Picky Pastel)
