    Gourmet Rodent question...

    Ijust got a 3 pack of Gourmet Rodents and these things are pretty small. I have a BP who's about 12-14 inches long. Should I feed her two of these at a time or would one a week suffice?

    Re: Gourmet Rodent question...

    Rodents is really vague. I mean a mouse and a capybara are both rodents, but the size difference is enormous. As far as determining what sized prey item your bp should eat, there are two rules of thumb. Either a little larger than the widest part of its body, or 10-15% of its body weight. Either way a young BP should be eating every 4-5 days, depending on the size of the prey item.
