Taking into account that you snake now weighs in at 900g, i would feed her on small rats.



i've added a rodent size chart, which you may find helpful.

She duly took a small rat last night. . I think this will keep her satisfied for 5-6 days Cool
That chart is useful thanks bazzer Smile. I will weight her again when she has had time to digest this meal....

best time to weigh is after shed, as they generally won't have eaten and would have emptied their bowels. lol Very Happy

Excellent. I'll be interested to know fi she calms down. Did you weigh the rat?

I'd be a little bit careful, some people measure the size of rats by weight differently. the chart says 46-79g... these could be classed as large weaners, and small rats might be something greater. Just be aware of those grams Very Happy
