Adult Blood - what do you feed?

Hello. I'm doing some research on bloods, I'm thinking about getting one eventually. I've been able to find out housing, humidity, temps, etc, however other than "appropriately sized rodent" I haven't quite been able to figure out if this means large rat, jumbo rat, or something else for an full adult sized blood?

I'm curious, I'm not in the market for one in the near future, but I'd still like to know what I would be getting into.

I've been wondering that myself. I have read that 1 large rat every 10-14 days will do.

When I had my 5'+ female, I fed her a large or jumbo rat every other week, and she looked great. :)

Groovy, thanks :-)

fine indeed. for some reason I like the big plump tails. Like they are going to explode. :eek:

I recently upped the prey size on my black blood. I give her a jumbo rat every 2 or 3 weeks.
