Feeding Question

Hello there. Purchased a I'm assuming a 5 week old baby normal ball today from PetSmart. They've had him for five weeks at least. We got his feeding records and they said he's getting 3 fuzzies a week. I was wondering if that is overfeeding. Any help would be very much appreciated thanks.

I dont think I would rely too much on the feeding records..seems odd..most will only eat one at a time..feed every 5 days, so 3 a week doesnt sound right to me..good luck with the little fellah :)

Hey,

I like to feed all my balls about 25% of there body weight once a week. When a snake is a baby, you need to feed a little less weight but if you want to grow your snake you need to feed once a week at least a meal that is suitable for their size. Once a snake is over 2000 grams I try and feed about a 150 to 200 gram rat once a week.

Good Luck,
Bill
