I just rehomed an unwanted 7 year old normal BP. He was only being fed 1 mouse per month so he's skinny. I'm assuming he's a male because he doesn't seem big enough to be a 7 year old but that could be just because he's skinny. He had a stuck on shed that I was able to help him out with yesterday but his eyes are still dimpled. Would that be a stuck on eye cap that should shed off during his next shed now that he's being housed properly?

The main question is, I'm going to feed him a small rat tonight and start feeding him rats every 2 weeks. I'm going to put a frozen mouse in with the rat when I thaw the rat out in order to put the mouse scent on him. Do you think that if I also fed him the mouse, would that be too much? I'm thinking it'll be ok for this meal and just stick with rats from here on out? Any advice?
