Well it looks like my female ball is building follicles now. I have been feeding her a small rat once a week. Should I feed her more often? She is 4 ft long and about 6 inches in girth. Sorry I dan't have scale to weigh her with. In the past she has eaten medium rats. Perhaps try 2 small rats per week?This is a pic of her with my husbands size 12 shoe for reference of size.Thanks for the help.
