I was surprised to see him feeding so early even more surprised he took a F/T even though he has only eaten live! I'm very happy. Anyways I plan to make an online F/T mouse order. I want to maximize cost but then I want to be sure to get the correct size. Should I order 50 hoppers? Will he not outgrow this size during this duration or should I order larger mice aswell. I'd like to make an order for the entire year. Thanks guys
Most snakes will eat within a day or two of owning them. Just most of us advise people to wait so they don't think something is wrong with their snake because it's not eating. I also wouldn't deal with mice, my baby 53 gram BP can eat a rat fuzzy no problem. I fed him a rat pinky just because it's a bit smaller and with him being small. Your BP being 4 months old and eating hopper mice is really distrubing to me TBH. A lot of factors come into play with this but did you ever ask the local breeder why mice instead of rats? I would personally try a f/t rat pink, fuzzy or pup if you're BP is big enough. That way you don't waste money on mice when you can be feeding him rats. Who did you purchase your snake from?

Regarding f/t, where are you from? I'll give you more information with everything once I know the rest.
