    Feeding schedule?
    I am feeding my female who is 290 grams every 7 days, the rats I feed her are roughly 40 grams, she eats only one then I let her rest for 1-3 days before handling, she is eating great and never misses a meal, should I keep feeding on the schedule I am now or more often or less often? Her temps at perfect! 88-90 on hot side 79-85 cool side, she has 2 hides and fresh water everyday, very active at night and early morning, we have a digital thermometer and humidity gage from Walmart, we switch between the ceramic non-light bulb and red to the ceramic non-light and blue every other week, she seems comfortable... Should I leave the feeding or change it? http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...e31849cf89.jpg

    If she's eating, growing, and generally healthy why would you change it?

    This. I would just give her 2-3 days after eating before handling.

    If it ain't broken don't fix it. Like bcr said, wait at least 48 hours before handling after a meal.
