Thanks all! Yep Vaughn we are planning to offer them rats weans for about 3 or 4 weeks to make sure they are consistent on them before we do our first bulk frozen order (I mean who wants a buncha frozen rats in ye olde freezer that the snakes won't eat.....rat shish-ka-bobs anyone?)

Actually it was kind of wierd feeding rats as we have 4 pet rats but in the end didn't bother me all that much really. Prey is prey after all and I enjoy the sight of cows peacefully grazing but it doesn't put me off a nice juicy T-bone LOL.

It was very nice last night to feed them that one wean compared to the multipe mice thing. A bit more efficient and they seemed quite content afterwards and didn't do the "is there another mouse coming" thing. The 6 month old did immediately retreat to her hide and curl up, however, the 23 month old did do a bit of searching for more. At some point we'll have to consider that she may need to either move up in prey size or two weans but no rush on that. Better she gains her weight back nice and steady and slow I think.
