    feeding?

    Hey, i was wondering how often you guys feed your hatchling ball pythons? I have a female pastel at 90 grams that eats every time and seems to look for more so i wonder how often can i feed her and still be healthy.

    What size prey are you feeding her? I feed my babies every 5 days, but every 5-7 days is safe as long as you feed proper sized meals.

    I have a male pastel hatchling that is at 105 grams now. I feed him every 4 to 5 days.

    She can take much more than a medium mouse. I suggest switching her to rat fuzzies or pups. I have an 80 gram female pounding rat pups with no problem.
