sorry if this is the wrogn section but im not 100% sure where to ask.

my corn snake Nia is still on pinkies, ive had her about 3 wks and she just had her first shed with me (which all went fine :D).
how many pinkies shud i be feeding her? i was told one a week would suffice but im hearing people feed 2 or 3 so not sure, i dont fancy over feeding but i dont want to underfeed either.

also how do i no when 2 move her on 2 fluffies? not entirly sure how old she is but shes around 40-50cm long i think :s

thanks Daman

for a hatchling i'd feed a pinky every 5 days, if she's still fairly active after a feed (like she's looking for more) you could try offering her a second. when she's regularly on 2-3 pinkies per feed then she should be ok to move up to a fuzzy. then repeat the same process when she's hungry/big enough to move onto small mice. as the meal size increases you can also increase the number of days between feeds to 5-7 days. as a general guide though the mouse should be no more than 1.5 times the thickness of her body
