Lesa, in answer to your question, the way you have been feeding it sounds ok. Personally I don't subscribe to the poo-feeding belief. By way of comparison, my spotted (would be about the same size as your Childreni) gets a pink rat at most every 7 days and sometimes its been 14, 18 or 21+ days between feeds. She's growing well, in good condition, displaying quite normal behaviour and is the most placid of all my snakes. At the moment its been 12 days since her last feed and she has spent the last two nights in ambush position on her fake vine which is quite cute to watch.

There is lots of opinions on feeding hatchies so its up to you to read all the opinions and decide on a routine that suits you.
