    I feed mine an adult mouse every 4 days. When they get bigger i switch them to rats.

    I feed hatchlings every 5 days once I get them started well. I found refusals were too frequent on a 4 day schedule.

    Depends on how big you want it to get. Majority people will say 5-7 days.

    I just want him to be happy and healthy. He seems a little thin to me (i dont have a scale). He went after his mouse good so he must have been hungry!! I will try feeding again maybe monday or tues. Thanks for all your help....

    I feed babies every 5 days until they reach 300 grams. Then every 7 days.

    If you just fed on the 26th, I would think Monday would be to soon. that would only be three days. I would wait until Tuesday maybe even Wednesday.


    By the way, very cute little one you have there.
