    Weight to food ratio
    My Bp is at 205 grams and the frozen mice I have for him are 20 grams. I go by the 15% rule and right now I would need a mouse 27 grams. Should I start feeding him two at a time now? I feed him every five days

    If you feed him 2 then you're over the 15%. Try switching to rat pups. They are about the size you need.

    No, because two at a time would be 40 grams...that's quit a jump from what you are feeding now, and much more than 15%.

    I would advise you to finish feeding the mice you have on your regular 5 day schedule, and when you run out, move up to the next size prey item which should be rat crawlers.

    Good luck.

    Perfect, I'll keep him at one for now. I bought 50 frozen off a seller here and I still have over twenty left so whatever comes first if I run out I'll switch to bigger and if he gets to 40 grams being 15% I'll toss in two
