    Feeding Serving

    I have a 4 week old balled. He eats every thursday, no problems. Right now he is feeding on one live hopper per week. This past week when he was done eating he was wondering around the cage like he wanted another one. Question is: Should i feed him more than 1 hopper on thursdays and how long should i wait until i feed the 2nd one? What would be the next size up mice to feed him? He is only 4 weeks, so hes not to large yet.

    Thanks

    A good rule to use is to use a mouse/rat that is the same size around at it's fattest point as your snake's fattest point. If you want, you could feed multiple food items at the same feeding session, as long as they all equal the same girth put together as your snake at it's widest point

    i don't think i would give him two mice at 4 weeks old, maybe a month or two. i don't know if anyone feeds more the 2 every week, but thats what it seems most people do. my snake is about 200g and eats 2 mice a week. hope that helps alittle
