You can feed it baby mice. Depending on the size you'll be able to feed it pinkies (baby mice without fur) or fuzzies (baby mice with some fur). As it gets bigger it will need bigger mice. These snakes can grow up to 60 inches so make sure you are willing to look after it when it gets that long. It is not recommended to release a snake after its been in captivity for more than 3 months. After that time period it has adjusted to life as a captive animal and will not be able to survive in the wild.
To be honest, blue racers do not make good pets as they tend to be aggressive. They also fall prey to parasites and disease easier than other snakes. A better starter snake would be a garter as they only grow to approximately 3 ft, are easier to feed, and tend to be much more friendly (just a suggestion).
