Hi
I am finding it a little difficult to get hold of good quality frozen foods in my area.
Hermes has yet to have anything as we only got him yesterday but has been taking 1 pinkie every 7 days, I have not weighed him but he is longer than the 9L Rub that he is in. He was hatched in June this year.
If I was going to order from A&N it seems more sensible to buy a larger supply of increasing sizes, otherwise the postage is silly.
What quantities in which sizes would seem sensible?
I am unsure of usual growth rates to allow me to work it out.
I was thinking of
Pinkies (1.5g) 5 keeping him to what he knows for a while.
Large pinkies (3.5g) 10 or would I need more
Fluffs (5.3g) not sure how many.
Hope this makes sense. There is a picture of him in the introductions.
Thank you.

Normally feeding goes one pink every 5 days, 2 pinks every 6 days, fluffs every 6-7 days. |

Do check your local pets at home, although not all do sell frozen mice. They are not the cheepest per unit but there is no postage and £1.40 for 4 pinkies is not breaking the bank. I have been happy with all of the ones I have had from there.
I fed Rosie every 5 days on pinkies and fluffs. I brought her home in September last year and fed her on pinkies and then double pinkies until January. I then fed on fluffs until the end of april, with a few feeds of a fluff and a pinkie and then 2 fluffs.
However if I have learnt anything from this forum it is that every snake is different. |
