I feel like i run a zoo!!
my corn is around 7-8 months old now and has gone from 2 pinkies a week to 3 a week , when i fed him this week i offered him 4 pinkies and he took it down fine , is it ok to be feeding that many a week? should i continue to feed him 4 a week or maybe 4 one week 3 the next ?

thanks
 
Feeding 4 pinkies a week is fine as long as your snake can handle it. Once you've used up our supply of pinkies (and yes, I am assuming that is why you are still feeding pinkies), moving your snake up to a fuzzy would be fine.

he still seems to small for fuzzys though!

The general rule of thumb is that the mouse should be no more that 1.5x as fat as the widest part of the snake..... if he can handle 4 pinkys then he can probably handle a fuzzy :)
 
regarding # of pinkies

Thats funny, i was just gonna to get on and ask the same type question. Only difference is, I was questioning about increasing from 2 to 3 pinkies / 5 days. My bloodred is 16 inches long and weighs 15 grams, born sometime in summer 06. Maybe yours is about the same size.. dont know? The local fuzzies i looked at appeared way bigger than 1.5, but then again so does 3 pinkies... What are the opinions regarding my delemma? sorry if i should post a new one.

thanks
