Now one huge issue I see is that this animal is underfed and I assume so is the other, an hatchling out of the egg is generally started on hopper and quickly move up to adult mouse, at this weight both should be eating adult mice weekly.
I have asked time and time again and my manager for small animals told me not to bump up their food. She said to follow the 15% rule and to continue feeding 1 hopper every week. I keep telling her I think they are ready for adults because they eat so quickly but she just keeps telling me to do what I've been doing. -sigh- I can't NOT listen to her but I will try doing the math and explain AGAIN. Our biggest boa is at 136g and eats 2 fuzzies too >. <
