Poll: If you feed once a week... What day do you feed on?

Okay so here is what I have been thinking about..... When I first got all of my baby girls last year I was feeding them every five days. As they have begun to grow and some started refusing meals I bumped it up to every six days. And here pretty soon I will be going to every seven days. So it got me to thinking ??what day should I choose to feed on every week?? Well I was thinking that either Saturday or Sunday would be easiest. But then I would not be able to interact with them as much because I work a nine to five. So I'll probably just try to do it during the week so that I will have all weekend to handle them.

So.... For those of you that feed once a week.

What day do you feed on?

I read it was recommended not to feed on specific days..stagger them to break a routine

I only feed on the weekends. I prefer to feed on Sundays, but if I have something going on after church, I'll feed on Saturday.

It used to be Tuesdays now it is Saturdays since I get my rats from a new supplier. I get my rats Saturday night and feed Saturday night...

This is actually the first time I have ever heard of this.

Where did you read this?

I have always thought that it was best to get a set routine.

And this is one of the reasons I am leaning towards the weekend. Gives me more time to get food if needed and also time to thaw out micecles.

I feed mine every 7 to 10 days, so it's always on a different day. I have fed them on all of the above I guess. :D

I feed on Fridays

I feed my snakes on Tuesdays, just because that's when I get back from my dad's and when I get home after school my mom normally has the rats and mice all ready for me in the freezer.

I feed Saturdays. Just because that's my chill time. I like to handle on Thursday and Friday. Feed sat. Frozen adult mice for all but one of my bps!

we feed on wed nights.

Honestly I feed my snakes every 3-4 days. I have been told not to power feed so I don't but would every 3-4 days be power feeding? I think it gives the snakes enough time to digest for a couple days and then rest for a day. Let me know what you guys think.

I feed on mondays dats wen new stock kumz in nah mean. All mines eat live ! KILLAZ:cool:

Wednzday ftw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haha, that has to be the life my parents relly hate the whole rats and mice thing.

sunday or monday for me...no special reason...;)

I feed on Wednesdays. If I have herp-related events to go to, it's usually on the weekends, so I don't want the snakes having a full belly when I shuffle them around to go places like that. Also, as mentioned, the time I handle mine the most are on the weekends, so it makes more sense for me. Also, I do most of my weighing on the weekends as well, so I want to weigh them empty. ;)

I heard this once long ago. I feel that staggering them just ends up confusing me and making me forget to feed them. I stick to a schedule and the snakes stick to it too. They know when feeding day is and have very strong feeding responses.

I used to feed on Wednesdays so I could play with my snakes on the weekend, but Wednesday was a hard day for me to find time to thaw the rodents and feed the snakes, so Friday it is.

"I feed on mondays because thats when new stock comes in (he works for a store? or the store runs out of mice/rats fast?) you know what I mean? They all eat live! KILLERS" :cool:

Lol. :rofl:

I feed mine live on fridays because that's when my store gets fresh supplies so I get a good selection to pick from!
