    Feeding question

    I've had my BP for 2 months, and he's about 3.5 months old. He's been eating hoppers for the whole time we've had him. The hoppers don't really leave a lump anymore and the last couple of weeks, after eating, he sniffs around the area where he ate the mouse, like he's still hungry.

    Should I try feeding him on a 5 day schedule, or should I feed him two hoppers at a time? I still have about 8-9 hoppers left and would like to use them up before moving up a prey size.

    Also, I don't have a scale yet (it's been ordered) so I don't know his weight. He's an amazing eater. I just don't want to underfeed him so he's hungry or cause a regurge by overfeeding.

    Any thoughts or advice? Thanks in advance!

    I feed my young BPs on a 5 day schedule, something about 10%-15% of their bodyweight
