Feeding Yearling Question

[Simsnow]

She is a yearling guyana, and I was wondering how often I can feed her without being detrimental to her health. Keeping in mind I want her to get big!, but not at the cost of her long term health. I feed her adult mice, but I am trying to locate weanling rats as I'm, told they are a superior choice. The breeder I bought her from was feeding her once a week, and thats what I've been doing so far.


Thanks for your Reply

Once a week is good. Rats are good. Not much more you can do. If you try to make her big then that will harm her health, just give her plenty of room in the viv to grow and feed her weekly and then the rest is luck (or genetics)

Well obviously health is the most important, thanks f b18.gif b18.gifor your reply. I finally found a reliable source for rats.

After the 1 year old mark you can actually slow down on the feeding. Every 2 weeks or even once a month. It sounds like you want to keep your boa small so I would defenitly suggest slowing it down.

Actually, it sounds like he wants her to grow.

Once a week is good. I feed every 7-10 days. Seems to work very well.

Sorry, I misread the original post. I thought he said "keeping in mind I dont want her to get big".. But he said he did want her to get big... my bad.
