Hello, I have three 4 months old corns and I give them one pinky every 7 days. Just want to know should I give more and if not when should I. Also I haven't seen any poo in the viv yet should I be worried.One of the snakes we have had for a week now and the other two just 4 days. Greatful for any help. |

Thanks for your help. |

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
the genral rule for prey size is that the food should be no more than 1 1/2 the widest part of the snake, so you should have a visable feeding bump, when the bump isn't noticable after a feed then it is time to move up a size.
With regard to the poo, what are you keeping them on, as when they are little it is very easy to miss the poo if they are kept on aspen ect, kitchen roll is nice and easy for spoting it though. Hope that helps
Great thanks for that. They are on aspen I had a little look but couldn't see anything. sorry to ask what is there poo like? |
