hi,

we usually feed our 5 month old corn 2 pinkies every 5/7 days.. we fed her tonight and she practically ripped them out of the tweezers, she swallowed both pinkies fine and was circling afterwards as if she was still hungry, so we offered her another and she again went for it and swallowed in a matter of a minute.

could we damage her by giving her one too many pinkies?

we are going away on holiday so she wont be fed for 10 days..apart from her water being changed daily she wont be touched..if she regurges any back will she be ok till we return ??

thanks for your replies

Corns will keep eating,is there much of a lump there?i dont think 1 extra is going to hurt if she take 2 with ease,if she does regurge some one will have to remove it for hygene reasons and it will stink.

if she's regularly on two pinkies per feed you could try her with a fuzzy providing it's not more than 1.5 times the width of her body at the widest point.

i would say, try moving her up to the next size if shes taking 2 with ease and asking for more. buy a few of them and if she dosent eat them go back to feeding her the pinkies
