Is it true that it's better to offer pinkie with feeding tongues than by hand?
My kitchen is sub-equipped -- no mixer, no blender, no tongues -- but I do have forks, screwdrivers of different sizes, and there are tweezers in the bathroom cupboard. Any of these will do? |

Oh dear... this snake is going to end up having better table manners than us. I think I'll have to go get tongues, but it will take a few days so first feed will be tweezers. |

We used chopsticks at first- but we weren't very capable with them so switched to tongs (for the kings, frog and python) and tweezers for all the rest.
I have fed corns by hand before, but it isn't wise really. Mistakes can happen  |

Must admit that I always have fed by hand, but when Kellog wasn't eating and we were worried that it might be our smell putting him off we used chopsticks, which isnt easy to hold a mouse tail with chopsticks - but if you know how to use them...... xxx |

I use tongs made for getting fish hooks out, they're perfect for feeding time, and I never feed without them. |

I have a set of tweezers ith blunt ends that I use for all size mice. they work well and apply just enough shake to make the prey interesting. |

I think it is best to feed using tongues or tweezers that way you dont get your scent on the food and you are less likely to get tagged while feeding |
