I just got a ball python, she is approximately 4 months old, what should I feed her? ?

Question

The breeder said she eats fuzzies but I am not sure if he mean rat fuzzies or mice fuzzies.

Answer 1

depends on the girth of the body of the snake. dont feed her anything much bigger than the thickest part of her body. you could damage her insides. also if you feed to much they can get constipated.

Answer 2

Mice fuzzies. When I got my second ball python, as a baby, he would not eat! Eventually we got tired of him not eating and for some reason decided to give him a hopper mouse instead of a fuzzy and he ate it. He wanted something bigger!  

Answer 3

You feed her 2 mice fuzzies a week maybe wednesday and friday. When she is 5 months old, she can start eating hoppers. I fed my ball python hoppers when she was 4 months and a half old. If you can't see the lump in the pythons body then that means its to small for her.

Good Luck

Answer 4

If you can find rats small enough start her on those ASAP.

Feed her rats or mice slightly bigger then the thickest part of her body.

Just go by the thickest part of the body.

Just feed her once a week.

Answer 5

he means mice fuzzies your ball is not yet big enough to eat rats but when she or he is you should feed her the rats starting with the fuzzies because they are more nutritious than mice or hamsters, hamsters are the worste for it because they are almost all fat and fur while mice are a litle better but rats are the best

hope i could help
