Avoid rats, rats are fatty and Hogs are prone to fatty liver diseases.
Good to know. I had just been going off of what his breeder had told me. He may end up on the fuzzies for a little bit longer until I can get a bunch of appropriate sized mice. The cheapest place near me goes from fuzzies to "mice" and I'm not certain what the full size range is for f/t there. With the smaller prey would it be better twice a week, or would providing two in an evening be better? Also weighed him tonight, he's 58 grams.

So long your temps are not falling below 75 and reach around 90/92 on the warm side he will be fine.
Thanks! I had it in my head that they liked to burrow similar to how a typical ball python likes to be in its hide so it made me a bit worried that something was wrong.
