Feed more often with small rat or less often with larger rat

What do you guys think is the best method of feeding? Tuna is currently 4 months old @ ~90 grams. I fed her a f/t rat pup and another one 4 days later. Should I feed her something bigger or just feed smaller more often.

I say especially at her age, a rat pup every 5-7 days is best. IMO even a full grown adult should be fed an appropriate sized meal every 7-10 days as opposed to a huge meal less often.

The only reason I'm asking is because she was very eager to eat the pup 4 days after her last meal. She also digested it overnight and was cruising around the next night.

Are you feeding a pup or a fuzzie? A pup should keep a 90 gram snake fuller longer than a fuzzie......

Actually that's my fault, they are pinkies, I did see a bigger fuzzier rat in the bag but most of them are pinkes. So maybe they are small for her, I'm thinking I should try to see if she will take 2 in one feeding.

Feed as big of a rat that is appropriate for her size once a week. Nothin better then weekly pounders

Yes you can do that, try offering two until you use them all up, them upgrade to the next size next time you buy. :gj:

Thank ya kindly :)

LGray23, it worked beautifully!

Offered the larger one first, took it instantly. While she was chewing I blow dried the second smaller one. As soon as she was done and obviously looking around for me I lowered the second one down and she took it almost as fast as the first.

Thanks again :gj:
