Couple questions about my young red tail

[Selvis]

Yours looks to be about the same size as mine. He’s currently feeding on the size right below adult. Although mice aren’t the best option for these guys so I ordered some size appropriate rats. As far as size of the prey item, follow the general guideline. Feed her a rodent about the same size as her largest girth.

Hopefully this will help you. Head over to the red tail forum on Tapatalk and they have an awesome free guide for download.

Thanks for the advice! Do I just download that taptalk app to view that forum?

And next time I'll make sure to see if the mouse is the size of her largest girth. Is there a Best way to do this? I'm assuming I just have to eyeball it?

And I'll look into rats as well. Also I've been feeding live prey. I'd prefer tp feed thawed but the previous owner said once you feed them live you can't switch to pre killed. Has this been the case in your experience?
