Hey guys, so I went and picked up a scale today for Sativa, I weighed him and he is a whopping 74 grams. He is currently feeding on F/T hopper mice, but I would like to switch him to rats. I know he is supposed to have meals that are 10-15 percent of his weight (7.4 to 11.1 grams), and I have found this chart. I have a few questions, the chart says a hopper is 7-12 grams, whereas the rat equivalent is 9-20 grams. Should I still go with the rat ? What is an average growth rate for ball pythons when they are this little? I just don't know how many I should get, I want to get enough rat fuzzies (it is a longish drive to get them), but not so many that I have a ton of extras when he gets to rat pup size. Also, how often should I feed him? I have heard every 5, 7, and 10 days. I would like him to grow at a decent, healthy rate. Any recommendations would be great! Thanks for the help This forum is an awesome, very helpful community!
