Hi,the bigger the snake,the bigger its meal!

from the pics on ur profile id say they were adult, i got mine on to rats as soon as i got them home.
def try a rat fluff, or whatever is a similar size to the mice. they can go up to one and a half times their widest point, so u should be safe

Ok i should be going out to a few reptile shops so ill get a few then if my dad will lend me some money lol.

lol tell me about it, i just got my bills through and as iv been away for a month i got one from last month and for this month, 400 just for leccy and gas, luckily i buy most my food in bulk so had a bit left over but they will be going a week without food. not a huge prob but i still feel guilty.
as long as the bosc has his, coz the girl that had him before me didnt treat him well at all. hes 2 and a bit years old and was 6" when i got him. after a few months with me hes not 12" and turning out to have a nice temprement.

awww thats nice of u...i buy my lot thir food then forget about me lol iv been round my mums for dinner every night since i got back from hols.
oh yea there is no rush and u will only waste food.
i think the only thing i can waste is rabbits or jumbo rats if the burm doesnt eat...but thats never lol every other sort of food can be eaten by something else lol

lol nice to see you around on the forums again, how big is your burm now? must be BIG! Id love to see some piccys.

I think that they are actually regular adult mice as the place i orginally got her from called them regular adult mice but the other shop called them fuzzy mice they are fairly big im not sure if she could take bigger yet but i will get her onto rats too.

okay, that is an adult mouse, not a fuzzy. Still look into rat pinks, they shouldn't be any bigger than that but will contain more nutritional value and you can cut back to once a week with feedings.
