How many animals are you feeding what sizes to.

Guestimate to me after getting zen and cutting back.....four boa taking large mediums to larges, a blood doing the same, ratsnakes eating about a dozen smalls or mice, childrens eating pinks, fuzzies or mice, hogs, candoia and oddballs another dozen say of small stuff and mice....I have 7 rat groups and 7 mice groups.Groups range from 1.4 to 1.7 I feed all my own and sell off extras enough to get bedding and the rodent food. Break even or then some.
