feeding question

[ikke]

hello... welll my young gtp is now 6 months...
and I've been feeding her/him fuzzy's... well they call it fuzzy's.. but truly they arent much bigger then a pinky...

my question is.. is this still enough... it doesnt even give a "bumb" anymore..

but the problem is.. they dont offer anything between fuzzy's and young adult mice here.... :(

so can I give 2 fuzzy's in a row, or would that be to much ?

I think you'd be surprised at what your little guy could get down... if you really don't feel that he's ready for a small adult mouse (which I think he should be), sure you can give him 2 fuzzies...

well the thing is... the mouse they sell here under the name small adults... are 7 cm tall without tale... around 3 cm wide ( without the hair )... they are kinda huge... so are the fully grown mouse.. they are almost small rats..

and I've got no way to get smal mouse...
the person I usualy ordered them from stoped with his buisness... but alright .. its good to know I can give 2 at a time without a problem

I think 2 fuzzies is fine. Id buy some f/t hoppers off the web. It's never to early to convert a snake to f/t in my opinion. Just takes a little patience. Besides, you're going to probably want to convert when he/she starts taking down rats anyway because they can cause such bad bites when alive.

oh he;s already eating f/t :D so no prob there.. but the site I always ordered from.. is closed for buisness..:( and I cant find any other site that dilivers...

Have you tried asking the breed that you got your GTP from where he gets his food? He might breed his own, but it's worth a shot that he might know of someone...

[ikke]

already asked, and he breeds his own

[Clownfishie]

Well then... does he have any extras that he'd be able to sell you? LOL...

[ikke]

lol... no atleast he says he hasnt... but I had a bit of good fortune today... to shop where I always go and by feeder.. just got a few very small young adults in.. so bought all of them :D

problem solved... just gave sietse one..
