Feeding 3 month old BCI

[thinkbig317]

Hey everyone! I just recently purchased my first BCI and she is about 3 months old. She took down a hopper on Sunday (8-17) like a champ. How often should I feed? Every 5 days??

at 3 months old she should be on weekly hopper feedings. Your on the right track, congrats on your new baby!

Awesome and thanks Jendee! So I'll wait until Sunday to feed again! How often should I be handling this little girl? She's so stinkin cute it's hard for me not to handle daily!!!!!

[Jendee]

I wouldnt handle her at all at least 3 days after a meal until she gets a bit older..around 8 months. I feed my babes on thursdays all weekend they are left alone while Im at work by monday they are good to go for playtime

I agree, once a week is perfect. At the year mark, reappraise. With snakes less is often more!
