What Size?

[JodanOrNoDan]

I've heard you need to feed a BP 10-15% of its weight, so do you think feeding one rat fuzzy every 5 days is healthy for him? Or should I start with rat pups as he's never eaten rats before? I'm also thinking of ordering mouse pinkies just as backup incase he refuses the rats. Forgot to add that this is for his first feed with me.

A mouse pinky is absolutely too small. I think ideally you want to be feeding a rat fuzzy or a mouse hopper. A rat pup is most likely going to be too big depending on how the place you get your stuff from measures. I don't really go by the weight myself. I feed something at or smaller than the thickest part of the snake. I have a freezer full of stuff at different sizes so I just kind of pick what fits. If you don't have a lot of animals this doesn't really work though so eye ball them at the store.
