how small is small? lol do u know his/her size at all? i think Nia went up to fuzzies when she was 15inches, i missed out the two pinkies stage but if he/she seems to be looking for more then offer her another, worst thing that can happen is regection and you lose a pinky (im not sure if you should refreeze or not, i no i dont) ive been feeding Nia on fuzzies for about 6 weeks nw and she started looking for more today :( shes so greedy lol
oww and welcome :D |

when your snake's regularly on 2 pinkies it's probably time to move up to a fuzzy.
as for refreezing, if the mouse hasn't been out a long time then i do, i've had no ill effects and i've been doing that for years with various snakes |
cornsnakes, ratsnakes, bullsnakes, boas and day geckos

lol. It's not fair. I missed out on all the little tiny weeny rats. Matilda is on small rats and possibly going up to mediums in the not too distant. That's if I can get her to stop trying to eat my hand and keep still long enough to measure her width  . |
