What should i feed

[Beto510]

a 66 gram BP. I want to start him on rats but ive been feeding him mouse hoppers and rat pups just seem to big. And my local store doesnt carry anything smaller

I'd stick with hoppers until he's a little bigger.

idk but they just seem to small for him his not really gettting bigger at all where my normal has gotten HUGE!

Being that you want to see his weight increase, you can go up to 15% of his body weight, so you could feed up to a 10 gram mouse... i guess that is a hopper, you can feed him every 5 days if you havent already......

i dont really need his weight to increase but i see my normal gettn big so quicker and its weird i guess lol...i just want him to be healthy

[bobbittle]

66 grams is pretty small, you don't want to rush him, he'll put on weight soon enough.

yea hes a tiny lil cutie lol.

If you want something bigger than a hopper, why not try an adult mouse? Females tend to be a little smaller. Are you feeding live?

[Beto510]

im feeding live i just today switched my female over to F/T Rat Pups

Yeah. Big rat pinkys or just "getting fur" fuzzies. I got my 70g hatch in july and switched it from live mouse hoppers to live rat pinkys immediately. Now shes on FT pinky/fuzzies and weighs 170g. Pre-scent and feed in the enclosure and you'll be fine.
