| Feeding your BOA |
| Feeding Cycle Good rule of thumb, feed your boa every 1-2 weeks with a food source of proper size No wider than its girthiest midsection. |
| Advantages of feeding F/T (Frozen thawed) There are advantages feeding frozen thawed especially for us the pet owners, some of those are less chance for internal and external parasites, (worms,mites, fleas, ticks) to be transferred to other pets or owners. Much more feasible in both cost and availability, there is much money to be saved by going with frozen feeders. The food plus hydrating factors all in one. The lack of your pet receiving wounds from live food which sometimes can become infected and potentially cause Vet visits or even death if uncared for. STEPS FOR FEEDING F/T (FROZEN THAWED) STEP #1-Purchase frozen rodents from a reputable supplier, who feeds balanced high quality feed to his rodents. Also one who preferably owns snakes/reptiles and feeds his rodents to his animals. STEP #2- The rodents usually come in plastic freezer bags either vacuum packed or the kind with the ziplock. One thing to be aware of if yours are vacuum packed is that they do last longer in the freezer if your intent is to store them but for feeding purposes once opened the bag is pretty much useless at tat point. I personally use and package mine in Ziplock freezer bags so the bags may be used until the food items are used up. Some people prefer to defrost them in the bag, I personally have found that it takes much longer that way. I also believe the snakes or reptiles can benefit more from the food item being removed from the bag and soaked directly in the water, therefore supplying food and hydrating at the same time. You can use a small bucket, plastic tub, or tote filled with warm to hot but not boiling water to defrost and usually within an hours time your food item should be defrosted and ready to eat. Always check before feeding prey item to make sure it is in fact defrosted. STEP #3- Use long tongs or Hemostats to remove the prey item and to feed to your pet. A lot of snakes will in fact search out the food item and eat it if left in the cage, while others often need to be teased or coaxed into eating. Make sure your hand is angled out of the way while feeding, even with the tongs, as sometimes the snakes strike may be a little off!! And when struck make sure to release the food item as your tongs and hand may be wrapped up in the process if you continue to hold the food item. |
