I have been feeding my two baby BPs 1 fuzzy once a week and want to feed two per meal.... how long do i wait before offering the second one??? 5 minutes... until it's fully swallowed??
Thanks
Paul

Wait until the snake has fully swallowed the first mouse. Feeding response is still strong at this time.

I sometimes feed 2 mice in one feeding. I feed the first mouse then wait until the mouse has stopped moving down the body of the snake. Then I wait about another 2-3 minutes before putting in the second mouse. I have never had any problems with this. Hope this helps.

I agree with the rest but have a question. Why do you want to feed them 2 fuzzies? I would start to feed them bigger mice.

My baby BP (almost 4 months)eats adult mice already. When I got her (7 weeks old) she ate 2-4 weeks old mice, then she got subadult mice and now she eats adult mice.

mine are about 2 months old and i want to work them into full mice. So i figured if i fed them 2 fuzzies for the next two meals, then they would be ready for reg mice after that.
Should i be doing something else?
Thanks Paul

I should start on hoppers (2-4 weeks old mice) or sub-adult mice (about 4-7 weeks old). They should take that easily.

How big are they and how much do they weigh?

for some reason.......alot of times a ball will eat 1 thing...then eat a few hours later or maybe the next day ....some do it some don't....as they said...they ave balls that eat 2 ,,3 ...or more even...I too have this ...

but at times of the year and for certain balls...1 is all at one time...odd...but it happens...

go with a big meal.....small mouse for baby ball....and small rat for adults.....
