You might try increasing his feedings a bit as well. Change it to once every 5 days or someting instead of once a week. I did that with my ball since he begain acting very very hungry by the 6th day after he'd be feed. He went into shed, and I didn't bother him for his weds feeding, and now I've got him on 2 mice at a time. I've dropped one f/t mouse in there after he's coiled around the first and he's eventaully eaten it, but it think it's best for him to eat one, wait a little bit and offer him the second.

I want to put him on rats as soon as I can get some. It'll be easier on me.
