I'm thinking about putting Dusk upto 2 fluffs, if I do would it be better to fed him every 7 days or is he still ok at every 5?
Im thinking about trying Dawn with a fluff next feed to.

I'd go up to seven, just to make sure he has time to digest in between feeds

When you feed them 2 items, do you put both in at the same time or offer one then when that's taken offer the other?

I ask because I once defrosted 2 pinkies together and put them in the viv (in a container so no substrate is ingested), and he took both. The next feed I offered the first, then when that had been taken I put another pinkie in, and it was still there the next morning (I ended up chucking it)...

What's the 'proper' way to feed multiple items?

You can either offer them one after another or both at once and leave them to it. If your feeding one after another, wait until the snake has stopped moving the pret down its body.

Neil, your snake was probably less relaxed when being fed both of them by you as apposed to being left alone with the mice so didnt feel like taking the second one.
