Hey guys,
I’m needing some advice on my children’s python, he is 6 months old.
Last measured 43cm in April & weight is 54G (10/06/2024)
He is still on fuzzy mice & refuses to move up in size to hopper mice I’ve wasted so many mice trying to move him up - I’ve tried braining, scenting with other prey items, drop feeding, feeding during the day, super late at night.
He also very rarely takes from the tongs, no matter how much I stir him up. He’s tong fed only twice since Feb when I got him the rest have been drop feeds.
Is there any other way to get him onto bigger prey as he should be on hoppers by now. He is healthy, placid & growing well on fuzzys according to multiple sources but I know fuzzys aren’t as nutritional as bigger prey.
