2 quick questions...

My two new BP's are eating live fuzzies. They have shed once and ate twice so far. (before I brought them home)
How often and how many fuzzies should I feed?
Should I offer food during the 7 day acclamation period?

I am going to assume that you're talking about fuzzy mice. If this is the case, most newly hatched ball pythons can take pink rats so they will need quite a few fuzzy mice to make a meal.

With rat pinks, I feed my newly hatched babies every 4 to 5 days. Sometimes they will go as long as 7 days between meals.

I'm sure that others will comment and give more good info, this is what works for me. I have some new hatches that I'll be starting on pink rats when they're ready to eat. I'd see if your guys are interested in them next feeding time.

You need to leave them totaly alone for at least a week and of course in separate enclosures.This includes no handling and only disturb to change the water or cleaning.Now depending on the size they are you can give them a pinky rat or if to large then a fuzzy mouse.If possible take a couple pics for size referance,if not possible its ok.
