    Feeding Question
    Hey everyone... I just have a quick question about what my ball should be eating (not sure if it's male or female) but I weighed slim a few days ago and he came in at 116.2g (about a foot and a half, a little more I'd say). I am feeding F/T hoppers now, I eventually want to give him some live stuff but I will when he's ready to go up a size in food, when do you think I should move him up? Also can you feed more than one mouse in a sitting? Thanks for your help guys! His eyes are so milky right now, can't wait for his first shed with me!

    Feed him prey items that are the same width of the widest part of his body. I would also try to get him off mice and over to rats. From what I have heard rats are a bit better for them. Best of luck!
