BP's Weight

Good day friends, my BP is 55-58 cm long, and her weight is 170 grams, do you think it's ok ? I feed him with 2 mice every week, the mice altogether weighed around 10-12 grams.

Hi,

It's difficult to say without pictures but you might be able to move up a size in mice to one that weighs about 17-25g.

But a picture would definately help judge.

The normal recommendation is 10-15% by weight or around the same size as his thickest bit. :)

To me, she looks thin. I would offer more food.

Hi,

She looks like she could handle the bigger size no problems. :gj:

i had a 50g bp that ate asf hoppers my 130g eats a large mouse and my 160g eats two large mice

Thanks alot guys, can someone give me the approximate size of the mice and rats ? I kinda confused about their size, is it true that rats are bigger than mice ?
As for my BP is it ok that she takes the meal 15 % of her weight but divided in say 3-5 mice ?
