So I just got my first ball python three weeks ago. She ate really well the first week after she had settled in but the prey seemed a little bit small so this week I gave her a fuzzy rat. She killed it and started eating but gave up after a while. It definitely wasn't more than 1-1.5 times her body size but it seemed like she just couldn't figure out how to position herself the right way to get it down. Anyway I'm wondering how long I should leave the rat in there and when I should I try to feed again. She was definitely hungry and has gone for food immediately both times I've fed her. Maybe she just wasn't used to the larger prey? It doesn't seem like a refusal to me she clearly wanted to eat but then struggled with it I guess.
