my bp loooks hungry and she has eaten 4 mice
my tiger weighs about 580g before she ate well yesterday night was feeding time so i fed her 3 mice in a row she dogged them and still look hungry so i fed her today in the afternoon and she ate again!! so a total of 4 she still loooks reallly hungry do i feed her again?? i dont want to over feed her but i dont want her to be hungry. she looks it & it seems she wants more
Re: my bp loooks hungry and she has eaten 4 mice
I'm no expert or anything but I have to say that 4 mice in 24hrs is WAY to much. You should be feeding 1 right sized mouse/rat every 5 to 7 days.

What is the weight of these mice? Your prey size should be about 60 grams.
Re: my bp loooks hungry and she has eaten 4 mice
honestly i have no idea i feed them by the width of the body but it was about 2 avg sized mice adult mice and 2 juvis
Re: my bp loooks hungry and she has eaten 4 mice
yeah with mice that size I would for sure say that is too much. you might just have a very active lil girl. I'm guessing you are saying she "looks" hungry because she is moving around?

Re: my bp loooks hungry and she has eaten 4 mice
yea kinda she moves around very very slowly and then she waits in the strike position when she wants to eat lol maybe i have a feeeding machine??
Re: my bp loooks hungry and she has eaten 4 mice
Yeah you might have a feeding machine and I'm sure an expert will chime in here soon and explain it but power feeding is really not good for your snake.
Re: my bp loooks hungry and she has eaten 4 mice
It could result in an off feed then she won't eat for months.
Re: my bp loooks hungry and she has eaten 4 mice
damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn did i screw something up??? what do i do feed her 1 rat? in 7 days? or wait a while? why is power feeding bad?
Re: my bp loooks hungry and she has eaten 4 mice
I would feed two adult mice every 7 days. An adult mouse in my eyes is about 30grams.
