Talking Ever wonder how big a meal a BP can take?

Jumbo rat! Wish I took pics of the rat. The thing was huge. He scarfed it down, in a record 1 hour and 15 minutes. HAHA! Now he doesnt have to eat until the new year . It seemed like he couldnt even bend the middle 1/3 of his body. Keep in mind, he is only 3 1/2 feet long. I'm so proud of my little porker!

yeah, thats blood. Its from the rat though. It was FT, and the nose was a little bloody. the last 2 pictures are actually before I cleaned out his paper towel. It was soaked from the rat. I had to wet it up to get his interest.

He's 100% het for beautiful!

That big rat ought to make him move slow for a few days lol. If you smell rat near his enclosure, it's just him burping.

I have a 800g femle that I normally feed a small rat to (50g-85g). Last night I fed her a large rat that weighed 195g. Normally I feed smaller meals more often but I think she'll go at least 10 days before I feed her again. Needless to say she is huging the heat. The whole time I wathed her eat it I kept thinking about this post! lol
Cheers,
Trevor

lol, I just fed my BP a large rat. The biggest meal for him and only the third time that he has even had a rat. Got it all the way down in less than a half hour.
I have been feeding him three large mice per week but it is not cutting it anymore. I feed smaller meals too but I slip in a bigger one from time to time when he seems to want the extra bit. He'll eat anything that you put in front of him too. That's my boy
