    Feeding amount

    I found a local reptile store that sells frozen pup and small rats so I bought 20 frozen pup rats; frozen they weigh about 35g. My BP weighs about 540g and 10 to 15% is 54-82g per feed. so I should be feeding her about 2 a week, right? So after she eats the first one and is moving about in the her feeding tub do I just dangle another in front of her face?

    I wait until the tail has gone down their throat before offering a second meal.

    And those rats sound find. 2 every 7 days should be okay.

    Awesome... I was really happy that she was fed live her whole life and went to f/t her second time I tried and went right to f/t rats so could not be happier how good of an eater she is.

    Thanks again!
