feeding my ball

[snoopylove]

i have a ball who is around 3 months or so, is about 18 or 20 inches and a good size in weight. right now im feeding him one small mouse every 5 days. was just wondering if this is enough or should i feed him two?

I would try a small rat instead of a mouse. Every 5 days is fine, just bump up to rats ASAP so you don't end up having a mouser!

the pet stores in my area only have adult mice. not sure where to get a rat. so no to feeding two mice?

You can feed two mice, but your snake is still young so you could move up to a full grown adult mouse for now, rather than two mice. Then work your way up, and get your snake on small frozen rats as soon as he's big enough.

he is on adult mice rght now. he doesnt eat frozen, he wont. ive tried several times, so hell stay on live most likely. but again the pet stores here dont have rats only adult mice
