BP hasn't shed yet

[Craiga 01453]

UPDATE:

He ate a large mouse. Still can't believe it fit down his neck, but I guess that's what they do.

The next size up is a small rat, and I'm pretty sure that that's too big for him right now.

He still hasn't shed or had a bowel movement since I've started increasing the size of his food.

I'll stick with the large mouse unless someone wiser than I thinks that that still isn't enough.

Hoping to get his first shed soon.

It's pretty darn impressive what they can do. They haven't survived thousands of years for nothing though. And they've survived all these years with no arms or legs.

If it were me, I'd stick to the large mice for a little while. Then I'd try to switch. Maybe feed him the mice until his 3rd shed with you. Then wait him out. Dont feed durong shed or after the first aign of shed. Then let him get good and hungry (by this point he'll be plenty healthy enough to miss a week or two) and then offer a rat.
