Munson Plan Question

Skeeter my king doesn't seem to be able to easily stretch his mouth around the size of mouse he needs, so I give the equivalent in 2 or 3 smaller mice too

Well i have been following The Munson Plan and my lil snake has been on the double pinks but now he is 25 grams and it's time to bump him up to small fuzzies. Problem is that i get my mice at petsmart and i looked at the fuzzies in the container and they look way to big for him to eat.......more than 1.5 times the width of my snake. Would it be ok for me to feed him 3 pinks temporarily until he gets a little thicker to eat the fuzzies?

Thanks, Daniel

I just had the same problem. My snakes are on large fuzzies, which have now become too small....but all the stores around here only sell mice......thats the next size up at least. There is nothing between fuzzy and adult mouse. So I just started ordering from Themousefactory.

Snakes seemed to be please with their mice, and they werent anorexic.......they were hoppers and weanlings with meat on their bones. Ill never buy pet shop mice again. It really is a rip off. No wonder my snakes arent gaining weight, their eating bones.
 
Double up on one day, or spread'em out?

She's right around 100 grams. I feed her three 5-7 gram fuzzies weekly.

Jake is 970 grams. He eats three adult 25+ gram mice weekly.

My anery boy now is now 101g, and needs 2 hoppers (average 8.2g each) a week. Would you recommend giving him them both on one day? As well, how far apart?
Thanks alot Nanci!
 
If you feed multiple items, give them both at once. If you offer them at different times, you risk the snake going into "digestion mode" and not being interested in the second. Mine usually take two at a time. If they only take one, then they're not ready for doubles yet and I leave it three or four feeds before offering doubles again.
