    wondering if I should be feeding 2 rat pups

    So baby is doing just fine on her new paper towel bedding, and it has made controlling my temps incredibly easy for some reason.

    I am wondering though, she seems like she is really wanting to eat again and it's only been 4 days since I fed her. She's been looking like she wants to eat every day since I fed her.

    She's about 26" long and I had her out today cuz she decided to poo in her hide (moron) and she is looking a little slender, not skinny.

    I'm just wondering if I can be feeding her 2 rat pups now she was an 05' hatchling, not sure when in 05' but I've only had her for one feeding thus far.

    and how to you go about feeding 2? pop one in lee her eat it, then wait 15-20 min and give her #2? I dunno, but it seems like she wants to eat.

    thx guys/gals

    All of my 05's are eating a weaned rat weekly. If you overfeed BPs you are setting yourself up for a fasting period later on. Be consistent and feed 1 appropriate sized prey item each week. Good luck!
