We tried to feed two pinkies to Bella last night; she wolfed the first one and we waited until it was a good way along before offering the second. She "sniffed" it a bit but them ignored it completely, even after a couple of hours in the vivarium with it. I don't think one pinky/5 days is enough for her because the pinkies are about the same girth that she is, but what can I do if she just doesn't want the second one? Or did I wait too long to give her the seocnd pinky?

you got 2 choices inkie
1) try and feeed bella 2 pinkies straight after each other
2)ask for the smaller fuzzies from your rep shop.
my first corn was very fussy he never ate 2 pinkies even when he was hungry so i tried a fuzzy which may of been a bit big for him but he ate it never the less. you might just have a fussy snake, hehe, but try both and see if it works for you.

if you left it too long she might have switched off from feeding mode, try one straight after the first, making sure it's up to temperature. or just leave her on 1 for a few more weeks

It's feeding time tonight so we'll offer the second before the first one's gone on its way! Thank you. I'll let you know how it goes.
