Feeding

Epstein Aug 17, 2007 09:26 PM

My BP is about 22" and alittle over 4 oz. and currently eats what I believe to be 3 fuzzy mice, but some are rly small, like they just got their hair the day they were killed, and other are quite a bit larger. I was just wondering exactly what she should be eating at this point. I've heard that she should be eating rat pups or small mice at this point but i thnk she looks too thin. I'll have a picture on alittle later.

I am not used to ounces lol but I converted it and I would up the size prey to at least a small mouse. It should be fine. I would do a small mouse every 5 days.
