feeding schedule for baby BP

[RmKlotz4]

my BP Flexx is no more than a month old, how often should i feed him/? Ive read every 3-4 days and also every 7 days? what do u guys think

[sk8er4life]

id say every 5-7 days

[Schlyne]

Hm.. I was told for my 2 month old bp to feed once a week. I think every 3 to 4 days woud be really stressful and might not give it enough time to digest it properly.

[RmKlotz4]

ok so once a week for a while should be ok?

Yes. Once a week is good.

I've had no problems feeding baby ball pythons either every 3-4 days or every 5-7 days or every 14 days.

Once a week is my preference for most of my baby balls and it works well.

Hope this helps.

Once a week sounds like the best plan. That's what I do for my young Bps.

Here is a quote from mile high morph ranch's husbandry page :

"Can you over-feed a Ball Python? Unfortunately there are popular myths that feeding frequent meals or as some people call it "power-feeding" is dangerous to your snake. We are fortunate to have Dr. Roger Klingenberg (co-author of "The Ball Python Manual") as our veterinarian and he has advised us that it nearly impossible to over-feed a juvenile Ball Python. The danger of obesity does not come into play until the snake is an adult and then only with excessive feeding. At the Morph Ranch we feed our hatchling snakes often. Instead of large infrequent meals, we feed smaller meals twice a week. The Ball Pythons we sell are well-fed, voracious eaters."

I'm partial to every 5 days for the lil ones, myself.

I go with every 5-7 days for the little ones and every 7-10 days when they grow up a bit.
