Doesn't mean you can just feed any rat pup some can be much bigger than others, you need to feed something that is equal the girth size (widest part of your BP's body)

Also spitting a prey back out because of the size is not a regurgitation so your snake will be fine and you can resume feeding next week as usual with an APPROPRIATE size prey.
Yea everyone was telling me to drop the fuzzies and move to small rats, I wanted to get zeta off mice and on rats due to nutrition. The only lousy pet store in my waste of space town only had small rat. I found the smallest and she tried but halfway in her mouth she spun and pulled off it then acted weird , scared me to death. I went back toady as she was sniffing the top of the cage where I sat the rat, two fuzzies was the best I could find, I know she would have eaten another but wasn't sure about three harming her. I am going to order online and breed my rats I guess. Thanks

That's what I was thinking, but everyone was tellling me I was underfeeding w fuzzies. When I was looking at the small rats I thought they fellt way too big. My snake is 24in 175g she eats with no problem and took fuzzies today and is basking. Thanks
