    How often should I feed? 5 day schedule or 7 day schedule?

    I fed him again tonight and he took it right away! I would like to try him on rats since he hit the mouse so well! The mouse was a hopper! What size rat should I use? I don't want him to get hooked on mice!

    A rat fuzzy would be fine. It may be difficult to find them from a pet store though, unless you have a local mom/pop that specializes in reptiles and has their own breeding colonies in the back.

    I live in a major city and we have several reptile stores. They have everything you can possibly want and then some. Getting any size mouse/rat is not a problem. Do you think he will give me a problem trying to switch! He is 6 weeks old! Thanks for the info and your time!
