feeding?

[Annarose15]

i got 2 normal females saterday from a local small breeder. the smaller one is 711 grams. she struck at me when i took her out of the box. i feed her sunday a rat that was 61 grams. she is always in the s postion like shes hungry. the tub is clear. is she still hungry?

Striking at you isn't indicative of hunger if she ate recently, it's defensive. Give her a week or so to settle in without handling her. Although you could up her food size some, that isn't drastically small. If that's the size you already have, you could also feed every 5-6 days instead of 7. Oh, and leave her in her tub to feed.
