small rat, more nutritious, one of my males used to have a medium rat once a week then all of a sudden he stopped eating for 8 months. |

One weaner every 3 weeks for a 2 year old... Yikes!
Your snake could be hungry or he could just be stressing out or he could be just wanting to cruise. We can't tell. But I still say, like what everyone else is saying, offer more food even if it's not the reason he's cruising... |

i guess it dosent really matter if he eats 2 every 2 weeks or 1 every 1 week, but i would prefer to let him eat 1 a week then as he grows increase the size of the food. |

It will do him good to eat two but if he only eats one thats fine, feed him one at a time for a few weeks then offer him one a week. |

Try every 10 days then, even Every 2 weeks is better than 3 weeks, I would say he should be heavier than that at 2 years old, good luck with him mate |

ok and when i offered him a rat once a week he didnt take it though |

I would say once a week, 3 weeks is far too long between feeds I have an 11 month old male and he's 565g. |

My lad's definitely more active, roaming round and sitting with his head poking out of his hide, when it's time for his grub. |

How old/big is the snake? |

who advised u to feed every 3 weeks??? as i feed my baby every 5 days
the activeness could either be down to yes that he is hungry, or that he is just exploring his cage again and maybe wants to come out |
