Now what do you suggest from your experience for feeding schedule (adults)?
to be honest mate it's hard to give one schedule fits all.....

re putting them all on the same schedule
i have some carpets who start to get fat while others stay nice lean and muscular

imo it's an individual thing

as a general guide anything from every 2 to 5 weeks,i have adults who will keep their shape getting fed every 3 to 5 weeks,others need fed every 2 to 4 weeks

i feed large prey less often,as opposed to more frequent smaller prey...

that said i have 2 adults that will only take small prey,instead of a large or jumbo rat,they prefer 2 small rats and hold their shape no problem

here's the Carpet Care sheet i usually recommend to new Carpet Keepers mate...

it's a good guide to get folk started as a general guide,i always recommend watching each Carpet and fine tuning the info to suit each Carpet...

for example temps,i have some Carpets who prefer it hotter,others who prefer it cooler,than recommended temps

keep up the good work mate


all the best,shaun
