Update on my adoptee and the rest too!
Well, my new adoptee ate a fresh killed gerbil beautifully last saturday and I'm offering it a hamster and a gerbil this week. My little brother had a hamster he wanted to get rid of and since I could only get one gerbil last week I figure I would get one gerbil and one hamster for this week. The gerbil was basically an appetizer last week but I'd only had him for a week and a half when I fed it but didn't know anything about it previous to my adopting him.
Currently all of my BP's are now getting FK no more live!! YAY. Osiris will only eat one mouse a week, but my girls will take 2 or a med gerbil. I try to get gerbils or jumbo mice so I can just give one food item if possible but they are all doing well so I'm happy. They are currently weighing in at:
Isis - 286g
Demetae - 300g
Osiris - 184g
Adoptee - 1160g
By the way, when i went to the pet store to look for gerbils the lady asked what i was feeding, I told her a BP. She told me to just get mice that is what they feed their BP's. I asked how many mice since their BP in the display is just a bit smaller than my adoptee she said 2/ week!!! I informed her my 300g female eats that much and I would probably be feeding my adoptee at least 4 mice a week to provide a proper meal, pinky rabbits would probably make a good meal depending on the rabbit breed. Gotta love pet store people huh.
