Any time after he's settled into his new home and comfortable. I have often fed burmese babies within a minute of unpacking them from a ups box after a 15 hour, 2000 mile journey with clumsy ups handlers tossing them around. Only a couple have refused this early offer of weanling rat pups. So they are very resilient in terms of being moved around. And my advice to you,. if you get your little burm on rats soon,. keep him on rats. One of the most annoying things is when you get a spoiled burm that only wants MICE and you have to trick them into eating a rat. I swear, it's a pain in the you-know-what! So get him on rats and keep him there til he's about 6 feet and then jump to rabbits.





>>Whats a decent waiting period to feed my baby burm. I moved him into his new cage but the thing is he hasnt eaten in about 3 weeks. He's been in his new cage about two days without disturbance. Should i drop a hopper in to see if hes hungry or wait a bit longer.
