I didn't want to hijack the Suriname thread, but I have a feeding concern with my BCI. He's 4yo, 7 ft, and about 16-17 pounds. He eats L-XL rats every 7 days. I've tried to back down to M rats, but my supplier was out and I got L again. I have found that if I go longer than 7 days without feeding him, he gets "grouchy". He is normally rather calm and slowly grabs his food to drag back into hide. If he is too hungry, he strikes, and even grabbed my shoulder while I was holding him. I really can't have this since he works with the public in educational presentations. I've always just continued to feed him every 7 days and he seems fine (definitely lean and not fat), but I want him to be healthy.
I guess if there was a question in all of this, it would be: given the situation, would you just continue with this feeding schedule?
