we have just put her in a 15x11ins rub after a good look i would say shes around 18ins long.when we first got her she was on small mice and now on rat pups but i cant get any rat fluffs or fuzzy to move her up to so do i keep her on pups or go back to mice.the next size rat i can get is a weaner which is far to big for her at this time.as she is only 2months and 2 weeks old.

so many people seem to have problems moving their snakes from Stuarts (mice) on to Rolands (rats) as they smell very differently so if she's on the Rolands i'd be tempted to keep her on them. you could try her on 2 pups per meal until she's big enough to take weaners. alternatively if you get your frozen food from a petshop some shops will let you pick and choose the sizes ie. picking out weaners at the bottom (smaller) end of the weight range.

Yes, as GP, I'd keep to rats and either give multiple rat pups or but some rat fluffs online.
