Prey size
Hey, this is another question about prey size.. i know i done a thread about this last time but i just keep thinking i should up my BP's food but then i think no, and then the next day i think ye ill do that, i am currently feeding medium mice (18-20g) and he ways 173g(today's weight) i just fed him another medium mice earlier... i feed 15% of body weight so right now he should be eating 25g, but he hasn't defected since the 28th of July so i don't know his true weight, but when feeding he seems to take down the mice in minutes, i can see the mice as its going down his neck but then when it is in his body i don't really see anything.. i was wondering if i should start feeding large mice(21-25g) any advice? i feed every 5 days and hes a champ at eating, hasn't missed a meal in 10 weeks.
Thank a lot for all replies

Yeah, I would move him up. I would try to switch to rats too.

Weaned rats or large mice for that size. That's what I do anyways.

Yeah. Rat weanlings sound about the right size. Baby rats who are transitioning from nursing to solid foods or already done nursing.

Re: Prey size
rat weaners are 26-51g? won't they be a little too big? and i have no idea what they are going to be called in the UK since everything has different names here hopefully the same but on the 17th ill feed large mice then go buy some rat weaners
