    So my female 4 month old bp is growing fast and is doing well. Unfortunately, adult mice seem too small for her and small rats seem to big. I have been feeding her frozen thawed every five days and she has not missed a mea:banana:l. I am very happy with her accepting f/t and don't want to change. About a month ago I bumped her up to the adult mouse and at first it was a belly full. Today, Petco did not have any adult mice so I fed her two hoppers which she gobbled up in no time. Now as I type this post, she is starring at me like I owe her money or at least another meal. I know this is just the process but I just want to make sure she is getting the proper diet.

    Thanks for letting me vent a little...

    Here is a pic of my little worm..

    I say rat pups. But if your feeding frozen thawed you can't really go wrong with small rats, I'm switching mine to frozen rats when I pick em up at the expo

    I'd just make the switch to small rats, you'd be surprised what they can swallow. It might take her a little longer to swallow, but she will get it down.
