How many of those were multiple feedings? It comes as a surprise to most first time ball keepers just what size of a prey item they should feedin relation to the size of the snake. I assume it's a hatchling ball python yeah? sing out if it isn't - oh and we like pictures

So assuming a hatchling ball it might have went like;

Tried pinky - snake still hungry,wait a week
tried fuzzy - snake still hungry,wait a week
tried 2 fuzzy - snake still hungry, wait a week,
tried 3 fuzzy.... ah well you get the idea


Only thing to make sure of is that you can get enough fuzzy rats if your thinking of using them. Nothing worse than switching an animals diet then realising the store has run out and can't get any for a month. Also was the rat pup smaller than the mice? And did you switch from mice to rats for any particular reason?

The care sheet on this site will give excellent info on how much and what size of prey item. And there are plenty of folks to answer anything it doesn't explain well enough.

And congratulations for keeping the chart - you would be amazed how many people forget then look confused when you ask when it last shed/ate
