How often does your adult male feed?

jerhart Mar 14, 2006 06:17 PM

How often are you feeding your adult JCP's? I am offering my male a f/t rat once a week, but he is only accepting every other one, so he is eating only twice a week. He never us to do it, its been a few months...is he just done growing? He is aprox 5ft.
-Thanks in advance, Josh

well, i dont have an adult jcp but my adult carpet gets fed on a FUBAR based timeline. she gets fed 2 medium f/t rats every other week for a month. then she turns around and goes into shed. then while she is in the final stages of shed she finishes digesting the food and a week or so after shedding lo and behold she is constipated. so then i have to go and get and get as close to beastiality as im ever going to and stick her in the tub and start massaging her tail end (i know.....tmi). then a week or so after that she decides she wants to eat again and the process starts all over again.

i have a baby jcp that eats mice weekly.
