    How do I know?

    My 3 month old bp weighed 134g (still had a meal she hadn't pooped yet....she's not a regular pooper or pee'er...I guess she utilizes it all?) and eats one fuzzy rat per week.
    How do I know when to move on weaned pups? Do I just go by the width of her belly and the pup size?

    I'd get her to rats now. And most people do anywhere from 10-20% of the snakes weight in prey size. A little bit of math on your part and you'll have her eating ideal meal sizes in no time.

    She is eating rats. Fuzzy rats. But the store doesn't weigh them, so I can't really ask for a at that is 20% of her weight

    Oops, missed the fuzzy rat part, sorry.

    And my local store doesn't weigh them either, but I do.
