    Feed schedule for a BP at 174g
    Me again! :)

    Right I'm putting my three smaller BP's on a 5 day feeding schedule as they're on the scales at 60g, 77g and 87g.
    I have my 260g pastel and my 550g male on a 7 day schedule.

    Now, my issue, my 174g girly; should she be on a 5 day or a 7 day. I got my pastel at 200g and she was on a 7 day. What would you guys suggest?

    Whatever you want that falls between 5-7 days and at least a rat pup. My 2013 pastel is at 150g right now and I am feeding her every 6 days.

    She's on rat fluffs which are weight and size appropriate :) First feed of all my newbies and my not so newbies tonight.

    Oh yes that's right...you would think that having several classmates from Bulgaria and Sweden that I would remember measurements are different across the pond. lol.

    The size difference baffles me as I'm on this forum all the time over English ones. I find myself typing ball python to fellow Brits instead of royal python which is what they're referred to over here!

    It's a killer when you walk into the rep store and try asking for American frozen thawed sizes :p

    Rat fluffs are rat fuzzies to us. Stay at 5 days like your smaller ones so your not doing 10 different feeding schedules. Also it all depends on what you want to do. If she is eating and pooping like she should then she's good. Your doing everything right.

    You could do 5 days until they hit 500g then bump to a 7 day schedule. Lol, "fluffs". I've never heard that. It's cute.

    My pastel is only 260g and she is on small rat weaners once a week, should she also be on a 5 day? She was being fed once a week and she was only 200g when I got her on that schedule about a month and a half ago... She doesn't come out looking for food during the week either.

    I'll message the guy I got the het gs off and see how often he was feeding her also.

    Once they hit the small rat area I make it every seven days, but some will do it differently.

    I'm keeping mine on 5 days until the reach 500, which my Lex is about to hit!! :)
    The rest are below 200, but I just got them in last month.
    Although since Lex is a mouser... I may keep her on 5 a while longer as long as she's eating.
