My new stripe corn chyna is only 6 weeks and 3 days old,i just fed her a pinky tonight and once she had eaten it i tried to clean the blood up were the pinky split, while i was trying to do that with a piece of tissue she kept trying to strike at the tissue obviously thinking it was more food cos of the smell of the blood on the tissue, but wont she be to young to go up to 2 pinkys cos i was thinking she was still hungry the way she was striking at the tissue. Any info would be great thnx.

I think at that age you're wise to stick to just one as she may regurge if she eats too much. How often are you feeding?

I agree with Mart, give it a couple more feeds of 1 x pinky before trying 2.

you could give her 2 pinkies if she'll take a second but I'd increase the number of days between feeds as well, up to maybe 7 days.
