Can I feed.....

[Geckodelic]

Can I feed my BPs 2 smaller mice instead of 1 larger mouse in a week?

The pet store by me rarely has rat pups, but they do have adult large mice. I know my BP can take a bigger meal, so can I feed 2 average sized meals per week? I was thinking 1 average meal every 5 days?

Thanks

Yeah man every five days should be fine, I feed my hatchlings and females after they lay every five days untill they start refusing meals. Helps get some size on babies and females back up to weight

I had to do this with my first ball python when he was younger to up his prey where I live. He ate live before I got him switched over to F/T.

I see no harm in it, he grew fine and is now five years old and healthy as can be.
