    feeding
    Hey guys my baby bp didn't eat today so I'm to try again tomorrow. His last feeding was on the 9th. I'm not feeding him to soon am I? And also he eating thawed out fuzzies. Do I freeze the fuzzie and thaw it out again tomorrow? Or can I leave it in the fridge in a zip lock bag?

    If you dry the prey off really good, it is reusable. Feeding every 5-7 days is fine for Python regius; however, it is common and quite healthy for them to occasionally skip a meal or two...simply wait until next week to offer again. Also what's his weight? Unless he is fresh out of the egg, he should be able to take down a rat pup.

    How small is you baby?
    Fuzzy rat or mouse?
    I would give him a couple days before you try again.

    He's eating fuzzies, so i do through the fuzzie back in the freezer until his next feeding? Not sure of his weight or age. When I purchased him from pet smart they said they received him mid October. Ive had him since November 1st, so about 15 days.

    Yes, you can one time but I personally don't.

    So now are you feeding enough?
    I have asked several questions to try and help you without any answers.

    Fuzzy mice are way too small, you either want fuzzy rats or small mice.

    I believe he means refreeze and rethaw. I wouldn't do it either, but some people do.
    To me it's kinda like thawing meat, heating it up but not cooking it all the way through, refreezing it and heating it again... yuck
