i am in need of some adive sizzle (my amel) is one in may she is 2ft she was 67g ..we took sizzle n pop s to the reptile shop to be sexed and they are both girls... the lady in the reptile said that we should feed sizzle on the same size mouse as pop's as they are nearly the same size pop's is twice as heavy she a creamsicle) and a good 10 inch's longer sizzle she had her first meduim mouse i weight a bag of ten and the average was 18g she eat but got it over her head but ate it anyway ...last tuesday she at the mouse no trouble but this week ( monday night ) she totally refused to eat she not in blue
so after a long winded chat i want to know should i take her back down to one small mouse once every seven day or stay at what will be one medium mouse every 10 days 11 days
i would stick with the small mice for now if thats what she will eat, but i wouldnt worry too much about her not feeding snakes do miss the occasional feed and it doesnt hurt them at all, they can sometimes go months without feeding with no ill effects. :)

I think I would be inclined to try her again with a small mouse to make sure there isn't any other reason for not eating, then you could try feeding 2 smalls for a couple of feeds before moving back up to the mediums. Remember that all snakes grow at different rates and it may be that you end up feeding them different sized mice. It doesn't really matter as long as they are growing at a healthy rate.
advice please
