    Small female??

    This Hypo female was hatched in 2008. She will only eat live mice, trust me I have tried for years to get her on F/T rats. I tried live rats and I tried F/T mice. Live mice are the only food she will take. The first pic I took back in 2010. The second pic I took today. She just completed a shed. I put her on the scale last week and she weighed in at 1100 grams. At 5 years old I really don’t expect to get any more significant growth from her. Does anyone have any experience with breeding females that just won’t grow any bigger? Any thoughts?

    Were me I would pair her. She may go on an eating spree after she meets a boy. She does not look thin to me.

    Yes several...She's good to breed...You might get her to take a few rats once she's breeding too!

    I don't think it would hurt to try.
