I was mostly a boa guy. So regular feeding wasn’t ever an issue. When I switched to balls only, I’ve kept mostly males, it was never easy, but never hard. What works for me is feeding around their schedule not mine. They are ravenous around Aug/Sept and eat every 5 to 6 days. One to two jumbo mice. Then not so much from January to May, I offer once a month and usually don’t get more then 1 to 2 taken during that time. Makes them very easy to care for, just fresh water every three days, and an occasional pee for almost a full third of the year. I notice this definitely works once they’re 4 to 5 years old. I remember my first clown going on a long 4 month hunger strike and then a similar pattern with another Black Pastel Pin. When they were younger one ate year round, one was fussy. After keeping around 11 different balls, I noticed a fasting pattern on most my boys. Peace, just my 2 cents. Hope this helps.
