Callista is up to 207 grams as of about 10 minutes ago. The store where I bought rats has closed down, and I am unable to get my hands on any rat fuzzies here in Flagstaff. I’ve even tried Craigslist, which, I know, is not a good place to buy them. I’d prefer a known source.

This weekend I’m planning to go to the Phoenix Reptile Expo, mainly to see if there’s a rat vendor there. If not, I’ll probably need to run around the valley looking for rats. Saturday is feeding day, and I have two rat pinkies left in the freezer from when she was smaller. That’s what I’m planning to feed her. Together they come to 17 grams, which is small for a meal.

I also have rat pups in the freezer. Big Cheese was out of fuzzies when I placed my order, and their rat pups are up to size, so there aren’t any small ones in that batch. Petsmart has rats that are bigger than the ones that I have in the freezer, and Petco has a reputation for selling rats that cause the death of snakes.

Should I feed her a pup next weekend, even though they are too big, if I can’t find fuzzies? I don’t want to feed her prey that is too large and cause problems.

Advice, please!
