Does anybody know if these rodents have a similar nutritional value to rats or is there any special reason why we should not feed Guinea Pigs to our snakes?
Thanks

will be fine for your snakes, although I would have thought rats would be easier to find. I wouldnt swap food unless I felt confident that future supply would be reliable. hate for your snakes to develop a taste for a rare commodity.
