I hatched out some babies on May 20th. I started them on rat pinks or mouse hoppers (for those that insisted on mice).

The one female that I kept hatched out weighing 70 grams. I just weighed her yesterday and she's now at 180g. She easily eats small adult mice or large rat fuzzies. I noticed when I fed her the other day that the fuzzies are a bit small now and I'll probably start feeding her rat pups once a week from now on.

One thing to try, if your ball is a good eater, is to offer a F/T rat pup. They're just easier to come by and cheaper (my two main reasons for using F/T for my guys). I got lucky and my girl is just like her mom..she'll eat anything, anytime. These are the girls I'm going to keep breeding :-)
