My two BPs enjoyed F/T small rats (40g+/-) for the first time under my care last weekend!!! Woohooo!!
Now....
When they were on adult mice they would hang out in their hides for maybe 24 or 36 hours just digesting on the hot spot. After that they would be out playing and stalking every night. They ate like that about every week.
So this time they got the rats (with no problem by the way:D ) and obviously it took them about an extra day or 2 to come out and start moving around a lot. They are each pushing about 300g in body weight.
How long should i wait till i give them another meal?
What do you guys and gals think?
Should i stick to the 7 days? or give them a little extra time with the big meals?
They are out and about now and would probably readily accept another meal.
As always... Thanx All!
