Re: What and how much to feed
You will probably have to use scenting over to get her onto rats. I think an adult mouse every 5 days is probably sufficient, but it won't be for too much longer. We can't tell how big the mouse is in the photo because there is nothing to scale it by. ;)
Re: What and how much to feed
my ball is abt the same size as yours. 2ft and weigh 900g. im feeding her 4 mice every 5-6 days. :)
Re: What and how much to feed
Yeah, a normal size rat is a little too big for a 2 foot snake, but it also could be that she's one of the picky ones who doesn't want to switch from mice to rats. She looks like a good weight from the picture, so I would just stay with the one mouse every 5 days for now.

May take some work but getting her on rats will be a good idea.... easier for the snake to take 1 food item plus 1 big rat is way cheaper than 4 mice..... I love my frozen thawed rat eaters the best :D
