Young Dum Boa hasn't eaten since Nov '11

Thanks. What is 20-30 grams comparable to? Local pet stores don't have live rat pups. I'm going to try a place near my job in Brooklyn. I checked CL, no luck there either. Rat pups are the pinkies of rats right? Google shows them as both pinkie rats and tiny rats that basically look like adult mice, but with there eyes closed and longer tails (and meatier). I just want to make sure I get the right stuff.

No mice!

Rat pups are 2 weeks old 20-29g and fully furred same size as an adult mouse. The little newborns are called rat pinkies. Re: rodentpro size chart.
