Re: What is the biggest sized rodent that you have ever fed to a ball?
My females get 4 weeks old rats (75-85 grams) and my males get rats that are about 55 grams once a week.
Feeding changes prior to breeding season, females get on an heavier feeding schedule.

My 1.8 year old female ('08 hatchling) is currently being offered 1 medium rat (F/T) weekly.

largest i usually do is mediums, if they are big girls i'll double feed.
I've seen a pic of a ball eating a rabbit before, but it was honestly a little too big for the snake. Although ball pythons can usually take monster meals even if its not the best for them.

Ordinarily, all of my adult balls get medium rats on a weekly basis. My largest balls get jumbo rats occasionally if my carpet pythons refuse and I just don't want to deal with storing them in my freezer.

Right now Sm rats one they hit 1000+ grams for life. I am thinking of trying rabbits when their the size of sm rats as rabbitts do tend to make larger snakes grow lil bigger.
Not too sure on the rabbit yet as i would have to set up a breeding plan so i can keep the size i need(50-70g)

My male was taking a large rat every 2 weeks.
Reptiles make life tolerable.
