How often do you guys feed you ball python?

I don't think that this is a topic and in just wondering. How many times a week you feed your ball pythons? Just a pet, or bulking a female up to breed. Maybe you feed two mice, one right after another. Just wondering what you hobbyist do. If you have one ball python, or are a big breeder with a collection of 50+. Thanks on advance guys.

Update: spelled feed wrong lol, I'm on my phone!

I have 8 and I feed 1 eat weekly for my adults and every 5 days for my little guys.

I feed my baby ball every 5 days and I've started feeding him 2 mouse fuzzies every feeding. :)

It just depends... sometime every 5 days and sometime after a week or a week and a few days... I like to change it up on them and keep them on their toes... and I have learned it makes them better eaters when they arent on a set schedule!

I Really don't have a set schedule either. I feed my normal maybe 2 times a week. If I only feed her once she will get 2 small mice. It just depends, and you are right not having a set schedule makes for an aggressive feeder. Thanks guys!

Hatchlings are fed pinks/fuzzy rats every 4 days depending on their size. Then I feed a hopper/weaned rat to my balls between ~150- 500 g every 4-5 days. Once they hit the 500 g mark, they're put on a 7 day feeding schedule of weaned/small rats.

up to 350 grams they get fed a rat pup on a 5 day basis

350-700g weaned/small rat on a 6 day basis

700+ Medium rat every 7 days

Let's see

Holdback hatchlings get fed every 4 to 5 days until their metabolism slows down.

Adult females get fed small to medium rats (80 to 120 grams) once a week except during the months of october, september, december when they are offered food twice a week.

Adult males are fed small preys no bigger than 65 grams once a week year round.

Available hatchlings are fed once a week.

That is all very interesting on how people feed differently. Thanks to the admin for fixing my misspell!
