What and how often do you feed your adult BP?

[chapskis1]

Adult females get offered a small rat every 7 days. Adult males (i.e. anyone over 18 months old) get offered a small rat every 21 days. I like to keep my males on the smaller side (generally between 750 and 950 grams).

Interesting Tim. What is the reasoning behind wanting to keep the males small and only feeding once every three weeks? Do you bump up the feeding frequency when it is getting close to breeding season?

I know only feeding my males every three weeks would definitely make the rats in my freezer last longer!

BTW -- my boy that I bought from you 2 years ago is sitting at 1400g!!!
