    How many feeders to order

    I'm in the process of placing an order with the mouse factory and I'm not sure how much of what I should get. My bp's always ate live so I'm new to this frozen thing my RTB is currently eating hoppers so I was going to order 15 hoppers, 15 rat fuzzies and 15 rat pups. Is that too much or too little of each?

    I think of it this way:
    Your Bci is eating hoppers now, but will it still be eating hoppers in 15 weeks? Think in terms of weeks and weekly feedings and do your best to figure in growing snakes and increased sizes.

    Well that makes sense, Thanks Mckinsey! I might just get some feeders local for now until I see how fast he grows and then just place a big mixed order of what I should need. Thanks again

    Re: How many feeders to order

    I found when I was just feeding one or two snakes, it was easiest to get my feeders from the monthly reptile show near me. That way I could just pick up enough for the month and then move up in size for the next month if I needed to plus I could see the size of the feeders instead of just the weight.
