Hey everybody,
I'm wondering what the consensus is for feeding bp's multiple rodents. Good to feed two rodents right in a row, bad to feed one then another the next day, etc. I just fed my ball wednesday and he is now already behaving in manner consistent with him being hungry. I just don't want to deal with a regurgitation. He just shed last week and the rodent he ate on wed was fairly small.
thanks

For some reason I have mice eaters.. and in order to give them their "fill" They need to eat 2-4 mice in one setting, but then they will go 2 weeks in between feedings. I have had no problems feeding multiple rodents in one feeding. Just make sure you're feeding rodents of appropriate size and not over feeding. If you have a 1000 gram snake, feeding 2 med size rats wouldn't hurt. Like I said, My two snakes are mice eaters, don't like rats. I have a male who's just about 600 grams, and a female who's about 250 grams. Marlee (female) will eat 2 mice a week, and Oliver (male) will take 3-4 every two weeks. It seems excessive, but i haven't had any problems with it.....

I have heard horror stories of feeding too much...like the rat or mice rot before digesting and thus killing the snake
