Rescued burm need some advice

[CALM Pythons]

Get her on frozen thawed rat pups ASAP,

I disagree about 10 days and very much disagree about going slow to start, the snake is underweight and in the hatchling stage, breeders feed every 5-7 days on a normal schedule. Also recomended by world of Burns, which is a group of about 20 Burm breeders. I respectfully wish people who have never owned one would research before giving advice in scenarios like this. These are not BP's and Colubrids, they have extremely fast digestive systems in this stage.

WELCOME Burm Bro
I agree get her on Rat pups ASAP. The heck with Mice.
I do say start slow with feeding and dont feed large items because she is obviously dehydrated and her insides arnt use to digesting much. Ive seen a burm hatchling underweight and not taken care of Prolapse because of to much food being pushed when their body wasn’t use to it. Thats a whole other problem I’ve seen follow a animal for years once its happened. Theres nothing wrong IMO with starting slow, once they defecate and get back to normal bump to a normal feeding schedule. I go every 7 days on Hatchling burms.. once they’re 5- 6 months i go every 2 weeks. Others feed more but im old school and always will be. Some people say guys like me are trying to make our Giant Constrictors small, thats BS. Im trying to grow these snakes as they do in their normal habitat and I’m not talking about Florida who seems yo have a buffet in the Everglades. Burms in Vietnam are not 9’ and thick as Jay Cutlers Bicep at 18 months. (There is always a exception of course)
Enjoy the little guy and please start a Progression Thread and list it under my Members Progression thread so the other Burm owners like kevin and I can follow you. Also check out my FB Group if you have a page.
