I bought my young BP about four months ago, and he's eating no problem. I had initially been feeding it a rat pup every two weeks, since it initially didn't eat every week. But the last month or so it's been immediately going after the rat pup as soon as I introduced it. A week ago I made the mistake of putting my BP "Fluffy" into a holding cage, THEN trying to drop the rat in. It wound up striking my hand instead, thinking it was the rat. So I'm now putting Fluffy into the cage first, then I drop in the rat.
But with him being so aggressive toward his food, I'm thinking that I may need to start feeding him twice a week? Is that too much? Or either a larger rat/mouse. What frequency do the rest of you feed yours? Fluffy is about two feet long and a little over an inch in diameter at the largest.
