feeding size brb
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?

Re: feeding size brb
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.

Re: feeding size brb
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.

Re: feeding size brb
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.

Re: feeding size brb
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!

Re: feeding size brb
Mine bewilders me with how much she can eat. I would switch to rats sooner rather then later
