Ok Thought i would feed her in her viv for the first feed so their was less stress. She was in her hide with her nose poking out. I put the rat in and held it in front of the hide for 2 seconds, next minute she had nearly pulled me in her viv. She grabbed it and went back in her hide. It happened so quick i didn`t even see her. I can see her moving about in there so i take it she is eating it. Now the question lol (sorry). When i bought her i was told she was on small weaners. The weaner i gave her weighed 46g and she weighs 960g. I know the ratio is 10 - 15% of the snakes body weight but do you think i should give her another one or leave it as it is her first feed.

Oh and btw, thanks everyone for the advice on the first thread.

Congrats Remmy on the feed;-)


you could try her on two weaners at the same weight...

i was told that they benefit more from two smaller ones rather than a big one...but having never had to do this i dont know..lol..

i edited my 1st post while you were typing...

You can try to offer multiple feeds. She may not take it but give it a go..
Remmy Posted - 11/07/2009 : 19:59:24
Thats what i thought. I have got a bag of small weaners now. Would it be ok to give her 2 weaners instead of a small rat?

Oh, and thank you dazb

I would leave it as her first feed today but increase it to a large weener for the next feed or two, then on to small rats...better to increase the size slowly.

congrats on the feed...
