You need to eyeball it and feed a prey about equal your BP's girth size (widest part of your BP's body)

If you feed fuzzy mice it's already way to small, BP are started on hoppers and quickly move to adults.

i just now got him and this is my first time feeding him..hes been in his cage for almost a week..i just droped him a lil fuzzy..he ate it bakwards and still alive but it took him less then 3 minutes to eat it..do i need to give him another one?

ok so i need to go ahead and give him one more? cuz now hes really active moving around in his cage

if he can eat it backwards he can prob eat a couple more lol. I would move him up and how often are you feeding him

i got him sunday and hes been in his tank ever since..the guy said he ate that friday.. and i just fed him just a lil bit ago...so i need to feed him hoppers? crawlers? thanks so much for helping me!

hoppers are a larger mouse now a bug lol. you need to pick a day once a week and get on a routine with him instead of spreading out his feeding pattern

ok..yeah im gunna do it every wednesday since thataway i can leave him alone for 2 days then handle him for the weekend:gj:

You can probably feed him rat pups. Do you know his weight?
