Another question! Sorry!!

So tomorrow will be Rio's second time eating since he has been with me. Last week he ate a freshly killed mouse no problem but I also got some f/t last week when I got the fresh killed one. My question is how exactly do I go about thawing the mouse out? I know it has to be completely thawed and not cold in the middle but do I just keep it in a baggie and act as if it was a piece of fish and soak it in warm water? :confused:

Thanks!! :oops:

I used hot water, and I try to dry it a little with paper towel before I offer it. You can put it in a bag under the water to keep it dry, but I think that takes longer as the bag tends to float.

Leave it out in bag over night and through out day until early evening or feeding time. Put in a container and blast with a hair dryer until The prey Reaches around 100.f. Feed to snake.

I take mine out a couple hours before feeding in baggies to thaw out, then I warm them up by putting them in hot water for about 10-15 minutes (still in the baggies).

The day before you feed, stick it in the frig and it will thaw slowly. That way, all you have to do is take it out and warm it up. Quick and easy!

I offered him the f/t today and I literally put it in front of his face and he grabbed it..how to I know that he is full? I feel like he could have ate another one..

This is the size of the mouse that he had. Also I am feeding him every 7 days he will be 1 month old tomorrow, is that often enough. :)

Sooo relieved that he ate the f/t though..I was worried that he wouldn't take it as he was being fed live before I got him, fresh killed last week and finally switched over to f/t this week! :banana:

Put him on a 5 day feed schedule, til he's about 500g, feed him about 10-15% of his body weight.
