    Re: Determining prey size

    Ok. No need to be rude/mean here. I didn't *acquire* the animals and brought them home intentionally as a hobby. My friend asked me babysit but it turned out that he didn't want them anymore. I'm doing research along the way to provide the best I can to them (ordering them each Herpstat and T10 etc.). You deal with choosing the appropriate prey size as they grow to a certain size. My friend left me a bag of fuzzies and we just finished the last one. I did not *intentionally* feed them anything smaller than they should be eating because i found it painful to watch. That comment was meant to say that I'm not sure what size to upgrade to as fuzzie already seems kind of big in her throat. As you were busy writing, I was already researching for a scale to buy which will be shipped here in 2 days. No further help is needed.
    As I said, I wasn't trying to be rude. I shared a chart that is shared almost weekly on this forum because it is proven to be the best chart going. Years of research with thousands of animals went into creating it.
    Then you ask about pinky rats that aren't even on the chart because they're too small for BPs.

    And your comment about "painful to watch" indicates that you're putting your needs above the snake's health.

    And your comment saying "no further help is needed" will get you nowhere. Luckily, people on this forum care about the animals and will be willing to help you moving forward, but an attitude like that won't help you or your snake.

    I wish your snake the best...
