Note: Brooklyn Zoo and Aquarium workers were always friendly to me but they have a horrible reputation. Animals are not kept in great condition and I took my business elsewhere once I found an alternative live feeder.
I live in Marine Park and I called Petland and they do carry them, I hope the quality is good. I worry that I'll be giving my girl some diseased mouse. Btw, I made the mistake (like a doofus, blame worry) of calling Petsmart to see. They put me a long hold and a snotty woman asked me what I'm going to do with the mouse..I was taken aback but answered. She was like 'uh nooppe, we don't sell mice to be fed' ...her tone pretty much said 'you monster' and if I wasn't prioritizing my Fudge, I'd have said something. Now that I had time to think about it, I'm pretty annoyed at the implied derision she had for my purpose...which I totally get but snakes eating mice is part of the cycle..I'm sure the makeup she's wearing is not animal-lab tested..ugh sorry, just frazzled.
Is the Aquarium one in Flatbush? Worldclass Aquarium? something like that..I live near there and got my F/T mice from them
Re: First Time Owner Feeding Issues
Hi Guys,
It's Wednesday right now. I moved Fudge to her 6 qt tub Monday morning. I had to wait for my supplies from Amazon to arrive. I also was able to weigh her.
I was wondering when I should attempt to feed her? As per her breeder, She's usually fed on Thursdays. I didn't know if I should keep that schedule or wait longer since I switched her to a different setting.
If she doesn't eat this Thursday, it'll be 3 weeks since she last ate.
She's approximately 14 weeks old.
I weighed her before I switched her to the 6qt tub. I followed Deb's post/instructions above.
Is she at a healthy weight??https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9f98baae3f.jpg
