    food too small?

    I bought "LARGE" mice frozen from the local Petsmart. They definitely are not large mice, smaller then what they consider small live ones at other pet stores. Anyway, I just fed my bp, but do not feel like it was big enough. It wasnt even as thick as his thickets part of his body. I was thinking about going to get a live fuzzy and offering that as well, good or bad idea?

    You should feed 10 -15% of your snakes body weight, you can try the rat fuzzies.

    thank you very much. I did know that, but I already fed him the mouse so I think an extra fuzzy would accomplish that.

    I feed F/T so I weigh out everyone's meals accordingly. It's a good habit to keep track or your snake's weight which makes it easy to give the appropriate size meal every time.
