Hello
Today is feeding day and I am thinking of trying 2 pinks instead of the normal 1. Last feed (6 days ago) you couldn't really c the bump after he had his pink. Even tho it does show a bump when going down his neck! Does this sound ok to feed 2 pinks? Any advice in how I should feed the 2, what time should before I offer 2nd pink?
Thanks

Glad 2 pinkies went down well! Corny has done 3 strikes upto now, just with fuzzies.  |

Just an update, he took th 2 pinks last night no prob. Did leave a big bump tho. I am hoping he starts to strike feed soon as at the moment he is a very calm feeder. |

I moved Rosie up to two pinkies last week, she was born 20th July. She had little bump from 1 and was weighing 16g. She took the 2nd from the tongs, although she didn't strike. That left her with a nice big bump. I am still feeding every 5 days as suggested on a different thread. |

cheers
She was born 06/07, she's quite a bit bigger than my daughter's Ruby though and she's the same age as yours.Ruby has still got a bump showing after 1 pink. I think some just grow quicker than others. |

I was just going to ask exactly this question as Tanith had no bump last feeding day, glad I read this first or I'd have looked really stupid  |

Yeah, sounds like it's time to move up to two pinkies I feed mine every 5/6 days when they're on pinkies, then go up to 7 when they're on fuzzies but it's really personal choice. Lots of people feed every 7 days on pinkies too. |
