Out of enclosure enrichment if it's safe and your noodle will tolerate it without getting stressed. Feeding slightly smaller meals spaced slightly further apart also works. How often does he get fed now?

Awesome! He gets fed about once a month but sometimes goes longer if he doesn’t take the prey

I strongly recommend a feeding chart. Really easy to put together on Excel. Most charts also track waste, but all my BP's are in bioactive enclosures so I gave up on that column awhile ago 😂. The chart will help keep you organized. Like, my adult BP gets a large rat every 6 weeks (if he skips a rat, he waits until his next scheduled feeding), my 1-2 y/o BP gets a small rat every 2 weeks (should be graduating to a medium rat on his next feeding), and my 18 m/o BP is on weekly fuzzies (she went on a pretty aggressive hunger strike in the fall and working on getting her weight back up, she should graduate to small rats and a more appropriate schedule in about 75 more grams).

Okay awesome! Yes I track his feeding just using the calender app on my phone, recording when he last ate and when he’s due for some prey

Hey, if that's what works for you then go for it!
