An example of power feeding is daisy chaining feeders one after another. This tricks the snake into thinking it's eating one feeder when it is in fact eating multiple.
If a snake eats a few feeders on it's own, I don't really consider that power feeding. If it eats, it eats. If they don't want to eat, they won't bother with the rodent.

To me power feeding is putting another prey item in the snakes mouth as its finishing another one to force it to eat two. I've never done it and would only do it under certain circumstances. Certainly not just for any randomn snake because i want to.

In, thread of the week. I have done it a few times, quite nice actually, but only if it is on someone else :cool: .
Lol, power feeding is basically forced bulking on the snake. My female Retics get a touch more than what is recommended but it is never excessive and if they did not want the extra then they would not eat it. NEVER power feed arboreals like Morelia viridis or Corallus caninus, it is a major detriment to health, scrub pythons also do better with a bit less despite their voracious appetites...my adult female eats monthly. Terrestial and semi-arboreal python species like retics, balls, carpets, etc... are generally fine with a little extra and will grow to breeding age faster, obviously; however, continuous chain feeding is definitely not going to end well.
