    In his case, a (F/T) weaned rat is fine. Every 7 days is okay, but I would recommend going to every 10-14 days soon. Once on small rats, which should be the biggest meal your BP should need, I would be feeding every 14 days.

    The chart below is good for BP prey size up to medium rats (which even females don't need unless huge IMO). Smaller meals are easier to digest and BP's are very efficient, especially as older animals. I don't think it's great at time between meals. Adult animals should be eating every 2 weeks unless breeding.

    Thank you! I will get him switched over to small rats next week.
