Good to Know
Picking a Size
How do I pick a size?
Many keepers pick a feeder that's about 10% of their animal's weight. Weigh your snake, then find the size above that fits. Still not sure? Text Mike the weight.
Why don't sizes match between sellers?
Each seller draws its own lines, so one seller's Large can be another's Medium. That's why Mike lists grams next to every size.
Do you sell pinkies or fuzzies?
No. Mike's smallest size is the Hopper mouse.
