New theory on blood "regularity"

Here's a half-baked theory that seems to be proving itself out with my two bloods: Smaller prey items, fed further apart (every 10 days or so), combined with regular exercise out of the case seems to help my bloods defecate like clockwork. One of the two once went almost a year before pooping. Now, she's every six or so. Sometimes less.



One of the two is an adult, and the other is nearly full grown.



Seems to make sense. Don't get stuffed, move around more and nature takes its course. Fresh water doesn't hurt either.



My two are eating F/T large rats. I think I'm going to stick to nothing larger than that, regardless of how big they get.
