So, I have been feeding Monty (1589 g before last feeding) one Large rat (130-150g) every two weeks for the last few months. I was trying to feed her every week and a half, but she wasn't really going into attack mode. She looks like she is gaining weight really really fast. Should I move down to a Small Rat (>100 g) every week? Or keep feeding her as is? I don't want her to get obese. How do you guys generally gauge what size prey to feed? How often do you feed?
Basically I'm asking if I should downsize the rat and keep the distance between feedings? Or downsize the rat and shorten times between feedings?
Also, I'm moving in a few weeks. I have the feedings set so that I feed her about a week before the move, which means a week after as well. I know stress can cause snakes not to eat - and I know that the move will stress her out.
Also, Also, where do YOU buy your F/T rats? What is shipping like, how are the rats packaged, what are the quantities your source allows you to buy in?
