Ok 1 40g a week sounds good to me. I just wanted to make sure it was enough cause I don't want to keep him hungry, and I don't want to make him fat either.

I tried scenting rats with mice bedding (I used to work at petco so this was no problem) and he still didn't go for the rats. Whats more interesting about this is when he was younger he ate rats, then around November '04 he stopped eating. Refused his food. At that time I was mainly feeding live, but got tired of taking the rat back when he wouldn't eat and got frozen (also don't want any rat taking a bite out of Dex). After a few months of not eating I tried mice and then he ate with no problem. Not sure if it was something with rats or if he was just fasting as I read that some do that in the winter months.

He hasn't fasted during winter since. I used to feed him thawed to room temp rats/mice but he never had good aim and sometimes he would take a while to find his food. Now I slightly warm my frozen rats with a heat lamp or under the tank heater. He hits them nearly 100% of the time now and is very quick to find his food dangling. Seems as those heat pits play a BIG role in them seeing their prey.
