Answer 2

Rat snakes eat small birds, rodents, frogs, and other small creatures.

Rat snakes feed on small rodent such as mice and small rats.

Answer 3

Snakes should be fed prey that are in proportion to their size. A baby / small rat snake would be fed "pinkie" mice which are newly born mice. They are small enough to fit easily in a small snakes mouth. As the snake grows it's prey should increase in size too.

I'd recommend once you get to prey that can bite, switch to frozen mice and rats.

When ready to feed just put one in a plastic bag and submerge it in warm apx. 100 degree F water to thaw it out. You do not want to feed a frozen item to your snake.
