    Feeding my Ball!
    Hey guys I hope you all had a great holiday and all is well,

    I have noticed something lately when it comes to feeding my ball python.
    He doesn't seem interested to eat once a week now that I have moved him to a medium size rat. I seem to have better luck feeding him every two weeks. Is that normal? He looks for food within that first week but I have thrown away two rats since trying every week on medium rats. Can he survive a bi-weekly feeding?

    Thanks guys any info would be nice :)

    There's nothing wrong with feeding your BP a med rat every other week. BP's are capable of surviving without anything to eat months at a time. A lot of people here on the site feed their adult BP's small rats, myself included, which results in more consistent feedings and less of a chance for their BP to go off feed during the winter.

    thanks guys! I figured since he is at a larger meal now that he would act funny like that, I just needed to make sure :)
