BP acting incredibly hungry
I posted a few weeks ago about our female going nuts with food. She ate two adult mice and a small rat. She also ate two small mice the next feeding. And last feeding at a small rat that would be the absolute biggest size I feel comfortable feeding her. The ones we bought this time are barely smaller than the biggest part of her body. We just fed her two days ago and she's already out exploring, she was eying our male's live mice, even eying our bearded dragon. Normally she does some exploring during some nights after we turn off the lights, but we still have the lights on and it's her "I'm hungry feeeeeed meeeeee because see how cute I am?" exploring. I know the difference than her stressed exploring and her hungry exploring. I'm used to her doing this the day or so before feeding day, but it's starting to worry me that she's doing it just a couple days after feeding.
I don't feel comfortable feeding her two mice every 7 days. Would it be better to put her on a shorter feeding schedule? Like every 4-5 days instead of every 7 days? Also, is this because of breeding season is coming up? She's estimated at about 3 years. Is this when the females are old enough to start breeding?
