Hello,
I just bought an adult female ball. and I waited a few days and then fed her today on a f/t large rat. It seemed after she slammed that down that she was looking for more.
Should I have fed her another one (or attempted)?

I only have yearlings other than her so feeding an adult is new to me. I don't want to over feed her.

Also.. I have a schedule of every 5 days for the yearlings.. should I put her on it too.. or feed her every 7?

I feed adults every 10 to 14 days.

My female is 5 years old and 2,267 grams.. I would consider her an adult.
I know a year old is a "yearling".
So maybe 2 and over?
