What size rodent would I feed a baby ball python and how do I determine what size to feed the snake as it grows?

Probably a rat pink or pup depending on how large your baby is.
You can measure the food to match the largest part of your snake.

General rule of thumb is to feed your BP a rodent weighing 15% of your snake's weight.

I agree with the %15 rule, but for those of us who don't have a scale, it's more difficult.
