    Re: quick feeding question

    You've had her for 5 months and she's only been eating fuzzy mice? I have babies born in August and they are on 1-2 adult mice a week. Move her up to an adult mouse(medium to large adult) every 5-7 days and see how she does. If she does ok, then you can slowly up her to 2 medium mice a week. That should straighten her out as far as growth.

    You should be feeding it an adult mouse per week , or a weened rat per week. I'd go with the rat because its more nutricious and less stinky, if weened rats are not available do the mouse. But feeding it a fuzy is just starving the snake
