    Prey size question
    After being on here and reading a lot of the posts I started thinking I was not feeding my BP well enouph. I just got the scale fixed and got her on it she is 752g:O. the last time she was on it she was only 364g. Then I took out a mouse about the size I normaly feed her and it was 40g. I feed her every 5-6 days one mouse. I have been using the guide on feeding her one prey item equal to the size of her girth.
    The smallest rats I have at the moment are around 180g

    also my bp is around 32"long, and about a year old.

    am I feeding her ok? is she growing ok?

    Pictures, please. I think that a bigger prey item is required, but I'd like pictures first, please.

    She is at a good weight for a yearling. You can go ahead and bump her prey size up, they can feed on small rats at that size.

    I think she is going to be a very big girl when she grows up.
