    Feeding Schedule Question
    So I finally got a scale and weighed my norm Fancy" Her previous owner told me that she is 2-3 years old. (thanks for narrowing it down a little... lol). Fancy is wriggly so she's hard to measure but she is about 3 ft give or take a few inches. When I weighed her I was surprised to see that she is only 820g (I did feed her 3 days ago). I was thinking that she'd be around 1000g.

    Question 1. Is 820g much less than she should weigh?

    Question 2. Her previous owner was feeding her 2 live mice every Monday. Week one when I got her home I fed her 2 f/t mice. She ate them right down and looked for more. So week two I fed her 1 f/t med rat. It took her a little while to get it down (I think she just didn't know what to do with a proper sized meal). If I've bumped her up to a f/t rat should I still feed her every 7 days since she's small, or do I need to feed her less often like every 10 days since the food is bigger.

    If you continue to feed her an appropriate sized rat every 7 days, she will put on weight in no time :)
