How often should I feed baby rattlers? I am thinking two furs a week. I don't want to over or under do it. Any thoughts out there? Thank you.

I feed them one fuzzy mouse about every three weeks till Nov. I don't feed for a month and then put them into hibernation for four months. When they come out I feed a fuzzy every two weeks. At one year I go to a fuzzy a week and then remain on that schedule gradually increasing the size of the food items. I prefer small meals once a week to larger less frequent meals, I think it's healthier for the snakes. I have a lot of 20 year old crotes still going strong.
