    little feeding help?

    I know this has been probably been posted tons before. I was wondering at what size/age do you start feeding every other week? My BP is around a year and a few months, around 950 grams and almost 3 ft long. She seems like she dont want her mice (4) every week. She only eats live mice. She got bit by a small rat and has refused them ever time after. Thanks for the advice.

    If she doesn't want to eat every 7 days, try switching to a 10 day feeding schedule. Or, you could try offering only three mice each week. You will probably have to experiment a little with the schedule and amount of prey, to see what your snake prefers...

    If she is only feeding on mice as she gets older, I would recommend keeping her on a 7 to 10 day schedule. Or you could cut down to 3 mice a feeding instead of 4.
