Also be prepared for a bottomless pit. Caesar eats like no ones business. I got him when he was 5 months old and he was eating weaned/small rats or chicks or quails every 4 days. Now after about 3 months, I've moved him to every 7 days on medium rats or quails or chicks and he is usually tearing it up by day 5 or camping the door I slide open to feed him lol. Also if you have access to chicks or quails, try them. Caesar LOVES poultry. With rats, he will grab them, coil them and then let go and sniff them awhile before eating but with chicks or quails, he slams them, wraps them like a Christmas gift and doesn't let go ever haha. There is no sniffing or looking around with them, its all about getting it down as fast as possible haha.
