    Feeding time

    I was just wondering if there is a preferred time to feed ur ball? I try and feed him on the same say each week at night, but there are times when night just won't work.( like this coming semester, seeing his normal feeding day i am now in class at night) In the past when i feed during the day he didn't seem interested.
    thx in advanced for the advice.

    I feed my BP's whenever.

    If you have picky feeders you might want to try feeding in the late evening as they should be most active then.

    I should have said most likely to be active lol. In the wild a BP is most likely to go hunting in the late evening/night time.

    It's whenever I get around to it.

    Based on my schedule and whenever I am though with rat cleaning (I clean rats and pull the feeders out at that time)

    So it can happen at any time of the day.

    Mine eat every Monday, late morning/early afternoon. By that day my girl is camping her hide exit waiting for a mouse to drop in, but then, she's my pig, gets two live adult mice every week. My male is a bit of a snot, smells it coming and tries to take it from my hand as I lift the tank lid >< Thank goodness he is only a one small rat per week guy. This one almost worried me.... was bigger than it looked in the critter keeper.

    A little off topic.... IF they are gonna regurgitate a meal, will it be immediate or can it take time? He seems fine but yeah wow....he was def stretched. Not a huge lump but def a noticeable one.

    I usually feed around 9 or 10 pm. I've tried feeding in the daytime and one of mine just isn't all that interested.

    Feeding time

    I feed right when i get home with a rat. If she doesnt eat i give her a second chance at night and thats it.

    I also feed whatever time works for me. Morning, afternoon, middle of the night, whenever.
