Hi everyone,Can anyone help me with some advice about feeding my snakes? I have just weighed and measured them both, Reggie is 143g and 25in long, 13months old. Rocky is 159g and 28in long, 15months old. Rocky has just gone up to a small mouse and seems fine with this but Reggie is still on a fuzzie but it doesn't seem enough as he is roaming around after and the next day as if he is still hungry whereas Rocky hides away for a few days. What should they both be eating for their size and weight, I would appreciate any advice? Thanks. |

Found the following in one of the posts:
1 Pinkie (2-3g) every 5-6 days (Snake = 4-15g)
2 Pinkies (3-4g) every 5-6 days (Snake = 16-23g)
Small Fuzzy (5-7g) every 6-7 days (Snake = 24-30g)
Fuzzy (7-9g) every 6-7 days (Snake = 30-50g)
Fluff (9-12g) every 6-7 days (Snake = 51-90g)
Small Adult (14-20g) every 7 days (Snake = 91-170g)
Adult (20-30g) every 7-x days (Snake = 170) |

Next time you feed Reggie try him with two fuzzies and see how he takes it, alternate between 2 and 1 for a few feeds and then keep him on two... when two doesnt seem to leave much of a bump try him on the next size up and alternate between that and 2 fuzzies and so on..
Theres a thread somewhere with a rough weight/feeding size guide in but cant find it at the mo..will have a hunt for it in a bit when I'm home from work! |
