Hey,
I just got a spotted on saturday, (which had been fed on friday)
She started prowling around for 20 minutes or so then she returned to her hide
but now she is sticking about 10cm of her head out in a strike mode, does this mean i should feed her or should i wait till friday?
 
I would wait til friday. My atherton seems to hunt most of the time, unless he's had a really big meal. But even then, after 2 days he's back to it.
 
How old is she??

If she is a hatchling then she should be fed 1 pinky every 5-6 days

If a bit older then every 7days

Ok cool then leave her for the week no handling at all so she can settle in then feed her again on Friday make sure u feed one correct size mouse or rat Then leave her for one more week my fella who if around the same age gets one pinky rat a week but i will most likely go to a size up in a few weeks any way hope this helps

yeah the guy i bought him said hopper mice but i called up the pet shop and they only had pinkies, fuzzies and adults are fuzzies the same as hopper mice?
 
Fuzzies are smaller, they are the stage where they have developed hair but havent open their eyes yet. Hoppers are about double the size.
 
I'm not sure but c if u can get pinky rats

Rats are good for them IMO there is more liver, heart, bone, etc in them
