    Feeding Question

    Hey guys, so my little Hog Island Boa (born in June) just went 6 weeks without eating and lost about 10g of his original weight. After trying many different things, it seems he is a picky eating and will only eat rats; right now eating rat fuzzies. My question is: now that he has gone 6 weeks without eating, should I slightly compensate for that by giving him 2 rat fuzzies, like one today and one tomorrow?? Or should I wait another 5 days before feeding him again. He seems very hungry and follows me, with his tongue flickering, when I go up to his tub.

    What do you guys think??

    Thank you!!!!

    Keep him on the same schedule as before. If you overfeed you risk a regurgitation which will just set him back more.

    If the rat fuzzy is an appropriate sized feeder then offer one per week.
