Hi, I have a 814g normal male that eats frozen small rats, but I was wondering should I go to medium rats??????????. He takes the small rat with no problem and when is finished with the small rat he wants more to eat. And again should I go to medium rats????????. Thanks Scott Glover

Just because your ball has no problem eating a small rat does not mean you HAVE to feed it a larger item. A 800 gr bp is getting plenty of "intake" from a small rat. On a personal note.......I offer small rats/ex-breeder mice only to my bps..(even the ones over 2000gr).....I feel it's better to offer a couple small items over one large item.
