Question about feeding! Please read!
So I'm currently feeding my ball python 2 fuzzies every sunday, but I'm thinking its about time to start feeding her more since she's noticably bigger than when I first got her (a few months ago), and after I feed her now she seems to roam around looking for more food. I was wondering what I should do? Either feed her 3 fuzzies or switch to hoppers? I'm unsure if Petco carries hoppers, so what would my option be if not?
Feedback is greatly appreciated

I would increase the size of prey.

She's about a foot and a half I think, but I fed her a hopper last weekend and she took it just fine

Make sure you are feeding it the appropriate sized meals. The food item should be about the same diameter as the widest part of the snake. Most hatchlings start on small adult mice.

Yeah I would bump your snake up to either hoppers, or small adult mice. I feed mine both, just whichever is more available.

'Fuzzy' anything is way too small a food item for a ball python. Time to up the food size.
