    BP has super appetite ...
    Hello All...

    Have a 3 year old female BP...She's a pretty consistent eater until she goes into "winter mode."

    She was fasting for about 7 mos...Never lost weight and went through a few sheds even.

    She started eating weekly about a month-1/2 ago, but now she's ready to eat every few days, rather then weekly.

    Not sure if the F/T mice/rats are too small ?? Or is she making up for lost time ??

    All I know is when she's ready to eat...She most certainly lets me know !!!

    On the other hand, I don't want to overfeed her either.

    Thanks !!!

    How much does she weigh? Depending on her weight she could be fine with a small rat weekly or a medium every 10-14 days.

    How much does she weigh and what size rodents are you feeding her?
