Its a little earlier than I had initially planned, but he's doing so well I thought to try a small weaner rat.
I'll let you know how it goes

He didn't hesitate to sniff, he had it snatched and coiled in less than 3 seconds lol and swallowed in 6 mins.

Lol -just kidding, yeah never thought you'd have much trouble converting him, as I've heard boas are just dustbins like grabby colubrids - and congRATSSSSS.

Aww Bats lol not my baby..he sleeps..rests his head and is mothionless :)

You don't say!!!!!

Thought he would lol
JanieW Posted - 08/06/2012 : 20:05:58
Less than 6 mins..rat was gone :)

Hiya Hayden, I overlapped your reply :)

I hadn't planned on feeding mice until Fea, my Boa and Slinky the Royal reached 1 year. I have brought Fea forward by 3 months as Boas are chunky and although he isn't thin, I believe he could be a little wider. Slinky on the other hand is staying on Jumbos as he's already over the average weight for his age lol

Will do Richard, thanks :)

When I bought Clank, I was told he was on mice. I hated to hear that so I got him on rats after the first feed :) Now I just leave the rats in and he drags them into his house.

Excellent, good luck let us know how it goes :)
