Feeding Rosys after having babies

How long do you have to feed a Rosy that just had babies before it has gained enough weight to be safe to put it in hibernation?

Why would you want to hibernate a female who just gave you babies?
You should feed her weekly, for atleast 4-5 months. More than likely, it should be about 8-10 months until you hibernate her again. So she can have a nice long time to recover. Females shouldnt be breed more than once in a calendar year.

Is it best to feed them twice a week at first to get weight back on them?

Id say every 5 days tops.
In my experiance, the normal feeding schedules worked to get their weight back up.

Thumbs down Why???

Hey Michael,
First off, rosies can only breed once a year, and they breed in the spring. You can breed rosies every year if they have proper weight. You can put weight back on a female rosy in 4 - 6 weeks after they give birth. Why would you say to feed for a good 8 months and then cool. ???? Are you going to cool your boas in the summertime and then try and breeding them after breeding season is over? I dont understand what you are trying to say..

Yes, thank you Nick,
Im dont believe in breeding animals yearly. It can be very stressful on the snakes. Even if she looks big enough, thats not the only factor.
I like letting them have a year off. This ensures not only good health in her, but good health in the babies as well.
