    bp hopper ???

    my bp is about 14 inches, and has been eating hopper for since i got him, recently cause of stubborness finally got him to eat frozen-thawed. my ?? the last 4 meals, it took him about 5 minutes to eat, once he got it down to were tail is, he stood up like to be pushing it down, well today when I fed him he grabbed it woffed it down without standing up in like 2 minuites, his feeding response is still the same, and judging by the biggest part of his body, he still needs hoppers. so is this just a good feed, or is he getting used to hoppers, im confused, i hope he's not out growing them just bought in bulk and have 8 left.last but not least, he still looked in feeding mode, he hunted around his cage for me it seemed, but i was scared to give him more, thought he would regurgitate

    Hoppers are perfect size for him! The more me gets used to you and the frozen/thawed, the better his feeding response will come! My baby male is about 4 months old and he grabs them before I can even touch them on the ground! A great feeding response tells you that you are doning a great job taking care of him! When the 8 are up, he may be ready for a rat pup!

    Your snake could probably move up to adult mice now. If you have a bunch of hoppers, try offering 2 per feeding.

    Sorry I was thinking a rat fuzzy not a mouse hopper! I agree, adult mouse is more like it but 2 fuzzies should be okay so you can use them up! Some believe they just tolerate handling but I like to think that he likes it because he goes up my arm if I put it in sometimes.
