    Feeding once a week is a healthy schedule; she won't get obese Feeding every 7-14 days is fine though for adults so it's up to you. I personally like feeding them more often (if they'll take it and still staying on a healthy schedule). For me that's every 5 days for the smaller ones and every 7 days for adults.

    I don't like the idea of feeding a BP any less than once a week unless they're off food, but if they're a pet it doesn't really matter. I myself probably wouldn't ever go more than 7 or 8 days between offerings but I know some breeders feed their males once every two weeks when it's not the breeding season to keep their weight steady.

    I feed my BP a medium to large rat every 2 weeks, but he's an adult male. Your girl should be fed an appropriate sized rat every 7 days since she's still young. 3 weeks is way too long between feedings.

    2 years for a Bp female is young? Lol didn't know that I figured 2 weeks was ok because she isn't a real aggressive eater but it doesn't hurt to try I guess

    Eh, if she's two and a decent size (ie an adult) she could very comfortably eat a 50-100 gram rat once a week for the rest of her life.
