    Feeding the balls

    Hello,

    My 3 balls are close to a year and a half old. My two boys are 684g and 635g and my girl is 935g. My son also has a female that is closer to 2 years old and is 1106g. They are all good eaters and eat weekly at this point.

    I'm needing to order more rats for them and I'm not sure what size is best to get for them. I would appreciate any advice. I wouldn't mind being able to feed them every 2 weeks or so instead of weekly but I'll do what ever is best for them.

    Thank you in advance for the advice.

    Maggie

    I'd give the males small rats and the females medium rats.

    Yes, actually, Izzy usually has a medium rat. Nyah has been known to want to eat 2 smalls. If one of the boys are off their feed and don't want to eat, Nyah will convince us she needs it and eats the second without any hesitation at all. We often make two for her. She just seems to like it that way. I have offered her a bigger one in the past but she likes eating two better. Go figure. Picky snake! LOL.
