my little jennys about 2 months old now and i feed her ever 5-6 days, when we first got her we gave her 1 pink but she still seemed active afterwards and was acting like she was hanging about for more lol so te last 2 feeds i have given her 2 pinks per feed, i leave the first in there, she usually sniffs it abit and takes it within 10 mins, then when shes finished i leave another in and give her the option to take it or not but she does take it. Is this to much for a hatchie? should i reduce it down to 1 again? shes about the thickness of my little finger and about a foot long.

Nah, dont worry about it, its fine. One of my babies had 3 pinkies once, just because i had one left and he was still looking for more, hes only 2 and a bit months old. hes been on 2 pinkies for a while now, certainly for about 4 weeks, but hes a lot bigger than the rest!

Sounds like my Buffy - she was a three pinky snake (gannet!) before she moved on to fuzzes ... sounds like you could try offering Jenny a couple of big pinkies or a small fuzzie? Just my opinion!
