When will it shed?

LBCBall Sep 11, 2003 01:50 AM

I bought my ball at about a month and a half old, and have had it for two and a half months of successful feedings and poops. When should I expect the next shed?

my daughter has had hers for almost 2 months, and she just finished her second shed
when we got her she was about 14" she is now almost 20" (maybe 21" if I get her to streach out all the way)
Smo'ore is also eating between 4 fuzzies, or 2 full grown mice every week or so
I want to switch her over to rat pinks (preferably frozen thawed), but am having trouble finding them in counts of less than 50 or 100 per order (I do not need that many) and no one has live rat pinks around here that I can find (I M near Philly, Conchi if anyone knows someone)

My guy is about 20-21" long (its hard to get him to stretch all the way while I am holding him up to a ruler). I have been feeding my guy mouse fuzzies for the past month, but am swithcing to a hopper today.

if you have a good relationship with your suppier, then get a couple feeders, and see what s/he eats
mine will take back anything that is refused if it is within 36 hours of sale (probably would even if a little longer, but have never had to do that)
Smo'ore took 3 small adults the feeding just before she shed this last time (see why I want to get her on rats?)
