feeding baby BP

[rabernet]

i fed my new 2 baby bps a rat pup ( i think thats what is pictured)each last week & they snapped it up. Here is a clickable pic of one



Their first live feeding by the way (with tongs). I was just very glad they both ate my first offer, lol

I have a 2 yr old bp that has not eaten since June 14th. Very let down everytime she turns down a meal, but thats how it is....we will see how tomorrow goes.

These were pretty large rat pups, but they were out of pinky mice & i had to make a decision. Someone told me once to get them to rats soon as i can, i just follow what these forums tell me, so far so good!

Pinky mice are never a choice for me to feed to baby ball pythons. Hopper mice at the smallest (eyes open and ears just opened). That's for an average sized baby.

In your picture, I'd be feeding your snake a rat fuzzy, that rat is actually small in proportion to your snake.
