Hey everyone!
Okay, so a while back I bought my first BP, a female 66% pos het pied Pewter gal with pretty coloring. Since November she has gone from 175 g ish to now 500 g as of yesterday, empty. About a month ago I moved up to feeding her two mice, and just today I tried three. She's one of those "watch out for your fingers" BP's that will eat basically anything, f/t or live, and she has yet to refuse a meal. Now, where I'm at there's no access to rats at different ages, so my choices are basically mice and adult rats. I really am not looking to powerfeed this gal as I plan to have her for a while, and I'm just hoping to get some advice on the amount of food that is appropriate for her size. Does anyone have a rule of thumb about percentage of her weight I should be feeding her, how many mice before I can feed her a smallish rat, how many mice to feed her period, etc?
Thank you!
