Feeding More Than Once A Week?

Snakes Are COol!
I have a baby corn that is eating fuzzies. I feed it Friday nights. Will a corn eat crickets? And can I feed it again in the same week or should I wait until the next feeding? Expert Corn Help Needed.
 
NO CRICKETS. I have a six month old and I feed her two to three pinkies every six to ten days, depending how active she is.

Check the number of poops (mine generally has three to five) and when there are no new ones its time for food. I try no to over feed my baby. Rule of thumb is what you feed them should cause a lump that should go away in 12 to 24 hours. No lump, up the size of the food.

Hope this helps. :crazy02:
 
Here's a feeding chart that I think Nanci has posted before. Hope this helps.

Here's my most recent feeding chart:

-When they're on single pinks (2-3g), I feed every 4-5 days. (Snake = 4-15g)
-Double pinks (3g x 2) every 4-5 days. (Snake = 16-23g)
-Small fuzzies (5-7g) every 5-6 days. (Snake = 24-30g)
-Regular fuzzies (7-9g) every 5-6 days (Snake = 30-50g)
-Hoppers (9-12g) every 5-6 days (Snake = 51-90g)
-Weaned (14-20g) every 7 days (Snake = 91-170g)
-Adult (24-30g) every 7-x days (Snake = 170+)
-Jumbo Adults (40-50g) every 7-x days

Note: Adult females are fed more frequently than adult males (especially following brumation). Females are fed every 6-8 days; males are fed every 7-14 days.

Sorry Dean, Didn't mean to imply it was Nanci's. It was Nanci's post I had copied it from.

I didn't think you implied that. The chart you posted was labeled "Dean's Feeding Chart". :)

I just wanted to provide my most recent version.
