meal questions?????

bpmaster123 Apr 08, 2004 10:08 PM

How do you know if your ball is still hungry after a meal. I am not sure if one mouse is enough for my ball and was wondering how you know when to move up to a rat.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Go by the 'feed prey that is 1-1.5 times equal in width to the widest part of your snakes body' rule and you should be okay.

You can always try offering a second mouse and see if he takes it.
