1 month

What I can I feed a 1 month old Burm, I have been feeding it a rat fuzzy twice a week (wed and sat) somehow I feel it can already take something bigger, should I feed it a chicken chick? Already?

You could go for just one proper sized rat (about as big around as the snake is) once a week. If you ask me there is no need to put them on chicks when you can get rodent feeders just as easily. Just opt for a bigger sized rat next time

How big is a 1 month old burm (grams and length)?

Are chicks more available than rodents in the Philippines?

Right now the rat supply I can find only has fuzzies (fresh out of pinky state)

There are lots of mice available. But there are lots of chicks available here.

Most of the burms being raised here are fed chicken heads, even the big ones.

I will get the length and weight later. I am guessing he is about 3 inches in diameter.

Okay, well if the chicks are what's easiest for you to find, then either go for one good size chick (at least around 3 inches in diameter, like your snake) per week or a couple smaller ones per week.

Is this chick too big? what happens if he still tries to swallow it? He did kill it

little tough to see constricted! Do you know the weight of the chick? My 567 gram BCI ate 60 gram chick with ease and left a weird bump (wings) but any lump was gone in 12hrs.

Feeding whats available or more available is the weigh to go. Chicks probably cost less too.
Nothing like eating chicken nuggets everyweek.

It's a little on the big side, but nothing your guy can't handle he'll be fine after eating it (they won't try to eat anything that is too big for them to take), but I'd either feed him one chick like that every 2 weeks, or try to get smaller chicks and feed one a week.

What a releif I really got scared for a moment there. When do you think shoud I feed him next? still a week from today or should I move it to 10 days?
