Get mice
= lizards cos it's still small.
if it doesn't want to eat try to force feed it.
i had this Burmese python and i got it just days old at start it wont eat then i try to force feed it.
gently open it's mouth then pus the lizard head first into it's mouth then push it slowly inside until the whole lizard is inside the mouth.
Our 6mth old python weighs around 5 lbs and is fed every other day.
the python can be 2 years old or 2 older
Age is not the factor here.Size is.It really depends on the snake, so measure her approx. and then go to the pet store and ask an associate for the right sized mouse.

dont feed rats to you python that is crule rather give your python rump steak or beef or chiken make sure it is raw ...that is beter for your snake to eat trust me i am a vet. ^^why is feeding a rat to your snake any more cruel (by the way you spelled that wrong) than feeding it abused chicken and poor cows. Besides those foods were processed for HUMANS. snakes should eat food meant for them. and the size of rodent depends on the size of your snake. Most likely a ball python would be eating mice not rats. My 2 year old male ball python eats adult frozen mice. YOU'RE a vet?
should be around 2ft in lenght
Yes, it will hurt regardless of the age of the victim.
NO!
milk
ONLY feed your ball dead prey. Live can injure or kill a ball python.If you leave dead mouse in their cage overnight, after they grab it, about 15-30 minutes before it is eaten. They digest for 48 hours, so do not handle them in that time or else they may throw up.
First of all, it is excellent that you're being so diligent! Second, don't get too worried yet. Make sure that your python's take is warm enough and that he has adequate water/humidity. What did you feed him last?
maybe a yolk or trace of the umbilical cord.
