She's only about 2 months at most and I have only gotten her to eat 2 fuzzies for me, should I switch to a small adult mouse?? any help is welcome.

` I think most folks worry too much about their snakes' food, and eating habits.
` You didn't post much information about your snake and her condition, or specifics about her food, so it's hard to give advice. It's a pain to go back through the forum, looking for information you might have posted previously about you snake. Are you feeding p/k fuzzies??
` Shooting from the hip, I'd say that sure, older food has some more calcium, but if fuzzies are the only thing she wants, at this time, I wouldn't worry. If your snake only takes live, it's time to convert her, as adult mice can easily kill an Anaconda, or worse! Mice are very smart, they like to go for the snakes' head, if they get the chance.

very good point there dfr. i also just want to add that u should feed rats over mice. rats r a lot better then mice they got more stuff in them. f/t is best.

I would get her on rats asap. rats have larger bone mass wich means more calcium. Start feeding weanling rats.
