Pinkies as food for Rays? Anyone tried this?

[ScubaGuy]

I was wondering if anyone has tried Pinkie mice as food for Rays? I am thinking to feed these to 20+" Motoros.

Just for clarification a pinkie mouse is a newborn mouse that has no hair and is only about 1.5 - 2 cm long.

Thoughts?

Whats the point though? Theres many better things to feed.

well mice are very easy and cheap to breed so that could be a saver. but im not so sure on how good they would be for a ray. since rays diets have alot of fish in them going to a mammal diet might not be the best bet since nutritionally they are very different. but i could be wrong.

I used to give pinkies to my 24" asian aro as a treat every once in awhile, not sure with rays tho?

when mice swim underwater in the Amazon you can try feeding pinkies, but until then.....

am guessing one time might not hurt? where do rays orrginate from? maybe in their wild habitats occaisonaly a rodent will fall in there river and might be gobbled up by a ray. get it on video as i cant have fw rays =[

You don't think a mouse, rat, or other mammal has ever fallen into the amazon and gotten eaten? Granted it's not a staple for fish, but it happens. I've caught brown trout with flies that imitate mice. They didn't hit because they've never eaten a mouse before.
Not saying it a good idea to feed pinkies everyday, just dissagreeing with the total exclusion of your statement
