    Feeding schedule. How am I doing?
    Hey all! I have another question about my girl. If I remember correctly, she's an August baby, and at this time weighs around 280g. She's eating the biggest rat fuzzies I can find every five days. Should I continue this schedule? Is her weight on par with her age? I wanted to post pics, but I can't find my damn memory card anywhere!

    I'm not good with food vs. Weight yet so I'll tell you what I did for my blood. When I got him he was still a baby only a couple months old and the breeder had him on rat hoppers. We didn't have those here so I put him on one adult frozen mouse every 7 days, the same schedule as the breeder. Now he is on one small rat every 7 days.

    Thanks for the reply! I like the schedule she's on but I think she'd be fine on a 7 day diet. I may consider switching her, it's just more practical because I feed the ball on the same day.

    I feed my bp's once every five day's up until they get to 500-600 grams. At that time I cut them back to once a week.

    Haha, don't worry about it. That's something I haven't heard before anyway and I may use that for my ball.

    300g Blood?

    Id say weaned rats at least, if not small rats every 7 days.

    When theyre small, a nice little lump after feeding is what I look for.

    Awesome. I'll try a small rat tomorrow night and see how she does.

    I feed big meals every 14-21 days. If you're feeding every 5, we're definitely doing different things, but I'm far from experienced enough with bloods to tell someone else what to do.
