Just fed Ember 3 pinkies, took them down faster than I thought he would. He even went round the RUB and ate a tiny leg that had broken off 1 of them. Should I feed him a fuzzy each week rather than 2-3 pinkies and should I feed him more often than 1nce a week.

It depends on the girth of the snake in comparison to the prey item but theoretically, yes, 1 Fuzzy is probably better for them than 3 Pinkies.

At 8 months old it should easily handle Fuzzies.

at 8 months I bet he could handle small to small medium mice!

I must admit I put a, erm, slightly too big medium mouse in the other day, and was impressed he managed it.

They really can take more than you can imagine. I have just double upped all three of my snakes over 4 weeks (eg fuzzies to medium mice) and they have taken to it with ease.

ooops, I bought another.........
