Thinking of getting a Corn...

[Pareeeee]

I've spent months wobbling back and forth between MBK, Mountain King and Okeetee Corn and I think I like the idea of a Corn better. I will know better when I handle one.

I will probably be getting it in the spring, around March (I don't want to rush it).

I want to buy it as a baby. I want an Okeetee that looks like this when it grows up:



Not this:



I've seen both referred to / labeled as an Okeetee.
How do I determine the difference in a baby? Is the top example what's referred to as an Abbott's Okeetee?

My second question: I think I want a female, because they get the biggest. I've heard that a 38qt tub will be big enough. is this true?

Should I feed rats, mice, or both? Do they get stuck on one food like a BP and not want the other or do they not care?
