    The importance of a 7-10 day feedings schedule for Balls the opportunistic feeder.

    Looking for personal experiences or studies.
    Im now figuring out a schedule on how I should breed & feed off my Rats. I had my 1st litter on 3/16 and see how they can go from food for the Balls to snacks for the Burm in what seems like a week or two.
    Id like to hear what experianced Ball Python owners know/think is best or what should/shouldnt be done.
    Ive been a Burm owner most of my life and Balls are a tottally different "Ball" game hahahaha.
    With that said, can I feed my Balls (all over 6 months of age) 2 or 3 smaller Rats (depending on Gram weight) twice a month in order to use up my litters?
    I understand there are other common sense options like F/T but im not looking for idea's as I feed fresh kill only at this point.
    Thank you for any info you can share.
    The Basic Question is - Can a Ball Pythons still thrive on a twice a month feeding schedule if they're eating more at each sitting?
    Thx peeps ����
