    help with feeding

    hey i have 2 ball python hatchlings one of the is 130 grams and the other is 115 grams they are both eating every 5 days and ive been feeding them rat pinkys that weigh 8-12 grams and i just bought a pack of f/t rat fuzzies that range from 12-17 grams. would it be ok to feed them those on a 5 day schedule one of them seems hungry after a day of her in her hide digesting she is out and about searching for food. they are great eaters eating frozen thawed without a problem im thinking of breeding them in a few years when the reach size so im trying to feed them as much as possible without over feeding them.

    Yes, it would be fine to feed the rat fuzzies every 5 days. You could even feed rat pups if you wanted to.

    A little bit of a lump will do no harm.
