    Re: BP eating Frogs?

    Don't feed anything from the wild. They are teeming with parasites and all sorts of nasties that you do not want your python to eat.

    I dont know, my baby Lesser eats three "hoppers" a week for me, and he doesnt have a problem with the f/t

    Mind that I call them "hoppers" since they're 6g each, which is like 75% of the weight of most bulk supplier's hoppers.

    I have the same experience. Of my well started 2009 ball pythons, they all take f/t willingly, and one accepts them with a passion.
