Little snakes get hungry very quickly--mine ate every 4 days, and IIRC, the two of them ate their way through only one bag of frozen pups before they moved on up to weaners.

    Yea I have aggro feeding twice a week and everytime he is ready to go he has been on mouse hoppers so I figured its time to bump him up to rat pups since he is hitting the 150g mark

    However, if you're getting 25 (I'm making the assumption that you're feeding every 7 days) then that's about a month's worth of food for your snake. If I'm correct, then you'll have no problem keeping them for a month - they'll be perfectly fine.

    ???? 25 rat pups for one snake is way more than a months worth.

    I was thinking the same thing. Actually feeding one snake every 7 days 25 consecutive times would mean the supply would last 175 days or roughly 5.5 months. BUT the snake will grow out of pups and you will need to feed two pups in no time so I would guestimate 4 months supply with 25 pups for a good feeder on a 7 day schedule.
