Hey i was just wondering how to judge when a snake is ready to move up from pinkys to a fuzzy, 8 is currently having 2 small pinkys as we've had some regurg/partial digest issues due to the pinkes that the college had in stock being larger than the ones which were previously being fed. is it just a case of trying sligtly larger pinkies and progessing up gradually? thanks |

ok cheers, i know one of his siblings has had a few reguge issues, 8 has only had the one and he then came in to ecdysis a day or two later so am hoping that was more the cause!

Regurge may not be always down to prey size, and pinkies don't usually come that much bigger than each other.
I would see how it goes for little while longer with 2 pinkies every 5 days, and after say 2 or 3 more feeds with no regurge then go to fuzzies
usually if they can take 2 pinkies they can take a fuzzy,
the first time it may be daunting because you think how is snakey going to take that, but they do

I've been told to go by this,
Single pinks 6 days Snake = 4-15g
Large pinks (2pink) 7 days Snake = 16-25g
Fuzz (5-6g) 7 days Snake = 26-40g
Small (8-10g) 7 days Snake = 41-80g
Small x 2 (8-10g) 7 days Snake = 80-120g
Mouse (18-20g) 7-14d days Snake = 120+g
Adult females after bromating are fed every 6-7 days.
Adult females are fed every 7 days.
