when to feed larger rats?
I have a rtb 2 1/2 years old 5-6ft long. I have been advised to feed her a large rat every 10-14 days. I was wondering what signs or how do I know that I need to feed a jumbo rat and then a small rabbit or two jumbo rats etc. How do I know when to feed her more? What will she do to let me know or how large should she be to know that I am feeding her enough.

Geez... 
Easiest answer I can give, is to follow the girth rule on food size.
When it hits a growth spurt and gets bigger, increrase the size of the food.
As to what food, is up to you, as long as it is sized properly. |

Eddie nailed it
One item the size of the girth is always better than more than one item. If at all possible, dont feed more than one prey item at a time. |

Looks like corn cob.
Hope you don't feed on it. |

i just fed mine a large rat and she definately wanted more food. she was like getting ready to attack the glass when we walked by. so my daughter has a rat that is so mean and we threw it in and she attacked in less then 1/2 second. i never feed her live or more then one item but they talked me into it.
