    Re: Tricks to taming a feisty jungle carpet?

    Sauzo- I'm glad your girl is eating for you. Most carpets have a pretty good feeding response. I have four carpets and only one has refused a meal and that was just one time. I'm not sure how large the mice you use are but three feedings in a week might be a little much. I usually feed my baby carpets every 5 days, yearlings eat every 7-10 days, and after they turn two they eat every 10-14 days. Your carpet will grow fast so you may want to consider getting her on f/t rats sooner than later. The last thing you want is to have to feed an adult carpet 5 or more mice when one rat will do. My coastal eats a 200g large rat every 10-14 days. I wouldn't want to thaw and feed him five (40g) jumbo mice. It'll save you a lot of time and coin to get your carpet on rats.
