In the wild, rosy boas will prey upon rodents, other small mammals, and small birds. Most neonates can be started off on pinky or hopper mice once per week. Food items can gradually be increased as needed. Adult rosy boas can be fed adult mice once every 7-10 days.
In the wild, the rosy boa eats a variety of prey items, including birds, lizards and small mammals such as pack rats, deer mice and kangaroo rats. In captivity, feed your adult rosy boa frozen/thawed mice or rat pups that are about the same size as mice.
