I feel my girl, who is a year and 3 months old, a small rat every 7 days. Shes a chubs ^-^

As far as hides, I got a tupperware container from wal-mart (it was defected) and cut out a hole and gave that to her. I spray painted it black and she enjoys it. You could also order from Reptile Basics, they have some nice ones. Some people spend the extra money and get them from pet stores where they have ones that look like rocks.
