I know most BPs are fine with a small rat, once a week. However, I have a few that still want more, right after they eat one.

My question is, should I feed them more? They all range from 900 to 1700 grams. I don't think they're in any way starving, as they get plenty of nutrition from the one rat. It's just that I know they'll take more. Sometimes, if I have an extra from one that won't eat, I feed it off as a second to one that acts hungry still.

Part of the reason for wondering is that I'd like to get them bigger, and ready for breeding. If they'll eat more often, should I feed them more often? Or rather feed them more/bigger rats each feeding? Or, will that be considered like power feeding, and they'll end up getting fat, instead of growing at a healthier rate... maybe the questions are moot, as the opinions vary so widely.

Anyway, thanks for your help.
