    Carnivore Care?

    As I've posted before, I have a snake who's really small and thin for his age and rather lethargic, even for a ball python. That is, until he receives a bit of Zilla Jump-Start, which does seem to perk him quite up. I was reading on a different forum that someone feeds her underweight BP Carnivore Care in addition to rodents, which seems like the opposite of what you're supposed to do? Isn't CC for when your snake won't eat and is about to die? Henry may be tiny but he can usually go through a hopper every 5-ish days (we're about to switch to rat pups). He's gained a little weight maybe but he's still tiny and his spine still sticks out.

    Does anyone feed carnivore care when their snake IS eating? Does it help with weight gain? Sorry if this is a stupid question; he's my first snake and he's worryingly small for his age. But carnivore care seems a bit intense.

    Just wait until I have human children!

    I'm sure I'll be more relaxed when I get my next snake. I hope.
