    Switched to rats.. INCREDIBLE feeding response!

    Well I switched my '08 normal from white f/t mice to white f/t small rats, feeding every 7 days. Made the switch two feedings ago.

    I can't BELIEVE the feeding response I'm getting from alice with these rats. I notice a bit more scent on them than the mice, so I bet if my human nose can pick something up, the snake probably can too. It's pretty fantastic, these past two feedings, I use the hemostats to introduce the thawed rat to my girl, and not even 3 seconds later.. just BANG she hits hard.

    I'm just ecstatic about how aggressively she is feeding and how well she took to switching prey items, and needed to brag

    That's great, congrats. In that 300-700/800 gram range they can grow really fast, so maybe this was the food change she was waiting for.
