    bi-weekly feeding?

    i have a healthy 27 inch male bp, he feeds live every thursday. the mice from the pet store are starting to seem a tad small, but the small rats are still a bit to large for him. does anyone recommend feeding bi-weekly? or do you think that will be to much,and might cause him to be overweight? i just want him to be large enough for the small rat

    Feed him 2 mice instead of one. There is no rule that you cannot feed multiple prey items in one feeding.

    Personally, I would feed weekly.

    I'm sure you could get away with biweekly feeding, but I try to keep a schedule.

    I feed nothing but mice, jumbo mice to be excact. I agree with Neal on keeping a schedule. What I do is every third or so feeding I offer an extra mouse. I also use a six day schedule, you can see if that helps.
