We got Sherlock at the end of 2011. He then did a disappearing act for 2 months and was found a few weeks ago.
I guess he is now about 8 months old, and when we got him we were told he was on 1 furry a week.
After we recently found him he was offered food shortly afterwards and fed on 1 furry no problem.
He was fed again today, and having eaten 1 furry I offered him a second which he took straight down.
Should I be offering 3? If not, at what point should I offer the third? And finally, when do I make the step up to a bigger food? (mouse?)
Many thanks
Keefy

agreed. I would try the next feed size up xx

There is no point offering 3 items of prey at all as 2 are more than the next size up so 3 is just overkill.

i personnaly think it'd be better to go to a small mouse (or a hopper if you can get them) rather than three fuzzies it just makes more sense than offering large numbers

I would offer 2 until a small mouse is a max of 1.5 times the widest part of his body.
