Feeding Question regarding 10 month old Ball

xenostalgia Feb 06, 2006 08:43 PM

I have a ~10 month old ball and she has been eating Large Adult Mice. I recently purchased a bucket of 25x small adult mice. How many small adult = large adult and do I feel her one at a time, as in after she is done swallowing the first one do I offer the second one in the usual way (dangling near her)

Impossible to say as mouse sizes and what stores name they vary so greatly. Likely that several little guys equal an adult. We have snakes that work either way...either feed one wait, drop in next, or put them all in a little nest like area and th snake raids teh nest picking them off one at a time. I even have one who kills each frist then goes back and awallows them one at a time.
