I have a female Pastel just a touch bigger than yours and she gobbles live mice just like your girl. because of her head size and the fact that she's still probably not big enough to eat a small rat, try feeding her two mice at a time.Originally Posted by Lolo76
I'm not 100% sure about her age, so I might be overestimating... but if she's ready, I'd be happy to increase her prey! She gobbled a normal sized mouse (white/pet-type) this week, so should I try a rat? She completely rejected the rat pup we tried a while back, and took immediately to the mice - so maybe two mice would be preferred over a rat?
That's what I do. I feed her one, let her completely swallow it, get comfy and then drop in the second. She scarfs and then starts poking around for a third!! I'm waiting until she adds some size to go for three. By that point, hopefully she'll be on small rats.
