Rat Fur Causing Intestinal Blockage. Any Experience?

My vet has been saying I should go to mice for snake food as Rat Fur causes Intestinal blockage, resulting in vets having to clear the obstruction.
However, with the large majority of herpers feeding their herps rats, I would have thought IF it was a major problem, it would have been realised many moons ago and people would have swapped over to mice. Thus my reasoning is that rats are fine.

Please prove me wrong..........

Have you had this happen to your herps?
