My new girl is 28". Ive had her for almost two weeks and have not fed her yet. The breeder I bought her from said he fed her rat pups but the pet stores out here have been out for a while. My question is, what would you recommend as a diet for a a 28 inch nelson milk? Thanks for any advise.

My adult nelsons like small meals. I usually feed them 5-6 mice fuzzies per week.

Mine eat both mice and fuzzy rats. As a general rule of thumb, I feed them foods that are about the same width as the thickest part or the snake's body.
