Re: Little guy still hasn't shed

Yeah I think now that I've upgraded to larger fuzzy's he's getting enough food. I was just afraid to move up quickly and have a regurge, blockage or scale separation.

Most boas are born large enough to take mouse fuzzies. Mine came to me at a month old already big enough to eat hoppers (she was 80 grams at the time).

I must have missed that the first time around. Pinkies are bad for boas, the milk belly can upset their stomach or kill them in extreme cases. It can cause anything from constipation to regurges. Not all are affected by it, but it's common enough to avoid them.

You should also notice better growth on a more fully-formed rodent than a pinkie, pinkies are nothing but bags of water pretty much. Little to no nutritional value.
