I swear I didn't over feed...I think.
So Butters is up 42g in a week. I feed on Tuesdays, one mouse about the size as they are round. I am pretty sure I'm not over feeding. I am just not knowledgable about BP growth rates, but this seems fast. The last weeks were about 20g. He's still active, cruises at night and has pooed since his feed. Is this normal though? Should I go with the 15% of body weight to prey item? My choices are limited and that would make it harder than just eyeballing a mouse. Moving to rats soon so that may help. Dunno. F/T rat pups are hard to get in my area.

An eye balled meal weekly is what I do....

Nope. Feeding F/T. High Point is a bit of a hike for food. About 2 hours. Might be worth it to see the breeder for BPs though. Really considering breeding, but just on a hobby level. The female would have to be something really special to pair with Butters though. Might mail order some rodents here in the near future.
