I bought an 09 male albino ball python from a show 11-02.
Born 10-3-09 , 65grams on the 12th.

He was on live and I switched him over to f/t , first week let him settle in and didnt mess with him or try to feed him.

2nd week offered a f/t fuzzy , he refused it on a couple occasions every few days.

Anyway , I broke down and was going to get him a live pinky mouse , but no local stores sell them anymore.

So I bought some frozen ones , they are itty bitty , smallest Ive ever seen. But he ate it first try on the 17th .. Swallowed with ease , like they are a bit too small.

Because they are so tiny , I offered him another 2 days later , and he ate it too .. Its been 2 days again and he seems hungry now..

Am I power feeding him?

He seemed scared of the fuzzies , so this is all I have to offer him , at least until the next show Dec 27th, might be larger pinks there.

But until then , is this okay?


Thanks
When i had babies i started them on rat pinkies.So mouse pinkies are of course smaller and will take maybe 3 or 4 to come close to a rat pinky in food value.So a mouse pinky every 2 days is not even close to power feeding him.To give you an idea of what power feeding would be here you go.A rat pup every 2 days
