feeding.

what size mice would you feed a carpet python hatchling? fuzzies?

Gonna need more info then that lmao maybe pics? All depends on how big the hatchling is. I fed my coastal on fuzzies didnt take him long to get onto hoppers. But once you get to that stage you should really try getting him onto pinkie rats

My 4-5 month old Darwin is on pinkie rats. Before that he was on fuzzy mice.

How old/big is it?

i agree jarden, i had my coastal hatchie on pinkie rats by 6 weeks old, and i think he can almost go a little larger, well looking at this pic. definately can go bigger and he's only 9 weeks old now, but growing quick!

Hahaha Certainly!! And its backwards too LOL!

 

[TigerCoastal]

yeah he did have it by the head, let it go, had a bit of a sniff around and then bit it on the a**! It still leaves a decent sized bulge in his belly, so might just get some pinkies that are a bit bigger

Thats what I have had to do... lucky the guy at the local pet shop hooked me up with a PERFECT bag of pinkie rats... some little and some quite a bit bigger. I'm a little OCD so i have even arranged them in the snap lock bag from smallest to biggest :?

lol....my shop has a freezer full of 40l click clacks divided into different sized rats and mice, and they sell individually, so i can go through and pick the perfect size, or so i thought.

Supergirlmas without pics best guide i could give is a big as the fattest part of your snake

My jungle hatchy started on day old pinkie rats

Feed it rats from the start to avoid any dramas down the track with switching. It will easily eat a pinky, but if it is from last season it will easily eat a fuzzy by now.

i had my 5 week old womas on pinkie rats [ because they didnt like pinkie mice]

I weight my little spotted and give him a food item about 20% of his body weight. This seams to have be a good guide for him.
