    I don't mean to hijack this thread, but my BP eats 1 small rat every 14 days.
    How do you feed 4 jumbo mice?
    And how heavy/large is your BP ?
    Do you introduce them 1 at a time or some other method? (all at once) ?

    Due to the handling probs I haven't weighed him since I've had him, he's about 3.5 ft in length though. I introduce them one at a time, straight after the last one, I leave him alone to swallow, the offer the next one. He strikes or will take it of the log in his viv. I would like him to be on small rats but my local shop has stopped selling them, the large/jumbo mice are approx 30g each I think. I think we would eat alot more, so I'm planning on buying done rats online, but want to get the handling problems over with first.
