feeding size brb

[kboa]

Ok guys sorry for all the questions im just trying to make sure im doing my best. Ok so i just got my brb almost 2 weeks ago. The seller told me hes about 90 days old. He fed a week ago wednesday and had a pinky mouse that seemed to be to small for him is he too small for pinky rats or is this size fine?

I would say try two pinkies for a few feeds if that works go up to mouse fuzzies

My brbs were eating rat pinks at a month old, if yours is older they can take rats not problem. These guys helped me truly realize how big of a meal snakes can put back.

Ok thanks guys!

Just do rat pinks, no sense in feed mice anymore when they can take rats.
They'll grow like crazy on the rat pinks and even quicker when upped to fuzzies.

I keep saying 'they' but I know you only have one.

Ha i only have one for now! Im on the prowl as we speak!

My girl is only a few inches bigger than yours I'm thinking by the photo, and she's eating two rat pinkies a feeding, no hesitation. Once I finish off this batch of pinkies she'll be going up to rat fuzzies because she get the pinkies down so fast and the lump is gone in only two days, if that.

Brazilians can take either rat pinks or mouse hoppers from birth. Mouse pinks are too small, unless you want to feed a bunch at each sitting. Go with a rat pink for now and see how it goes. Good luck!

Well guys thanks for the good info! He fed today and was eager to inhale it! Took him a little longer than the pinky mouse but made a good little bulge! Thanks so much...ps thats him on our outing today

He's looking good, kboa! Congrats on tracking down bigger food, and him successfully taking it.

Mine bewilders me with how much she can eat. I would switch to rats sooner rather then later

Thanks guys

Sorry for chiming in a little late on this one. As a general rule I feed all of my BRBs a rodent (preferable rat) that is as big as the biggest part of the snakes body.

I don't know why I didn't think to share this early, I know it not really important now but it might be of use to you in the future when you are thinking about upping the food size
