    3 small mice?

    I just fed my ball python and she took 3 small mice. Obviously she needs something bigger so what should I move her up to? Something ~11 g? When I weighed her before feeding her she was at 113 g. I haven't stretched her out to measure her length exactly but she's more than 1 ft, less than 2. If like to put her on rats ASAP so if there is a rat that is small enough I would love to try it on her. Thanks!

    Find a rat pup the size of the thickest part of her body. She should be good with that.

    Three small mice as in small adults? I would say 1 small rat. Each small mouse is about 10-15 grams....

    They were a little bit small (7-9 g) iirc and she took a long time eating the last one. I'll look for something in the 25-30 g range at the store tomorrow. Super glad I can switch her to rats though!!
