    Feeding Mice ??
    Hey guys...

    As some of you already know, rebel hasnt eaten in quite some time.

    Well anyway, i moved all my mice in from the pantry becuase it snowed the other night and got very cold, so they were in my room for about two days, during that time i had them by my closet where i keep Miss Rebel and all night and all day long she roamed her cage and whenever i walked by she would curl her head back into the striking position, ive been offering her a rat every week but doesnt seem to want it, the slight micey smell from my mice seemed to have gotten her very intrested, she never roams her cage like that ....NEVER.

    So i was wondering, should i start scenting my rats or ccould i even feed her multiple mice ? ive started a little breeding project that is going along nicely (no babies yet but i have three pregnant females that look like they are about to pop !) so getting ahold of the mice would not be a big deal.

    Rebel is a nice big girl, i dont even know if three adult mice would even satisfy her ..... has anyone ever heard of an almost adult ball python feeding on adult mice ?

    Thanks...

    I don't think it's a big deal. I would wait until all of the mice are born and have grown up, then you can feed her as many as she will take in a sitting. Maybe those rats you were giving her were a little big and that could be why she doesn't want to eat. She isn't going to starve anytime soon ;) Fatty boombalatty Rebel.

    Alrighty, that sounds good.

    I was planning on letting my first litter grow up anyways instead of just feeding them all to little Ruby. I really wanted to see what those babie mice would look like.I dont remember if i showed you guys pictures but all my mice (well...exept for one albino one) are very nice looking mice and i think they would make some cute babies.

    Ill wait till the second batch to do that.

    And yes, lol she is a little fatty isnt she :P !
