my two corns recently (actually sunday just gone) were moved from double fuzzies to small mice but when i fed the small mice there was hardly any bump in eith of my corns. Should i continue feeding smalls or look to move to mediums? |

feed a while on smalls. Dont up the feed too soon. Let the snake get used to the smalls then up to mediums :) xxxxxxxx |

well as my first post says there is hardly any visable bump when fed the small mice i have gone on sight rather than weight (main because aura was hard to get feeding after i got her) |

I personally don't go off the snakes weight for size of prey offered, i go by the size of the mouse and snake - so the mouse should equal no more than 1.5 x the widest part of the snake. Roughly as a guide
Harry was 99g and taking 1 x sml, he's now 170g adn i'm moving him up to mediums but he has been a fussy eater at times. he hatched aug 2010
Lillly was 87g and taking 1 x sml, moved to mediums when she was 144g, she gets one every 7-14 days and now weighs 236g so will be moving to large soon, she hatched sept 2010 |

give them a couple of feeds with smalls so they can get used to digesting the larger meals then move to mediums |
