    Once he is established and doing great with eating then I would switch to weaned rats every two weeks. When growing I would aim for 7-10% of body weight +/- every 2 weeks or so if that schedule works for you. Weaned rats fall right into that weight range. Do not feed a prey item bigger than the width of your snake. Always better to go a little smaller than bigger.

    I would get him on rats when you can because as he grows he will need bigger meals than mice can offer. Easier to switch now.

    Are you feeding Frozen/Thawed?

    Good luck and keep us posted.
    I got him on the 18th so brand new. Feeding FT.
