| My 2 baby corns are doing well but seem to be growing very slowly not that I have anything to compare them with only adult corns. They are now almost 3 months old and haven't grown a great deal since i got them. They are just about 12" long but still like a felt pen round. We have had them for about 6 weeks now. They are still eating 1 pinky every 7 days. I have now got some larger pinkies for a couple of feeds and then I thought I would move them up to fluffs. What do you think? They are both active in the evenings and love to come out of their faunariums. Also how long do you think it will be unitl I can put them into the 2ft x 18" x 18" I would of course provide lots of hides and greenery for them to hide in. Thnks. |

I started off feeding Loki every 7 days and then upped it to every 6 days,then 5 days.
He had a while where he didn't seem to be doing much. Although I think he's having a little spurt now. Do you weigh them? I started doing that and it put my mind at ease as I could see he was putting weight on.
I'd double up on their pinkies before moving them onto fuzzies,its what most people do and it worked well with Loki. |

| weight is probably your best guide to growth, and as Mort suggested - try feeding more frequenly at 5-6 day intervals |

| I was convinced that my snake had barely grown but since I got some scales and kept track of her weight I can see that she puts on 3 grams a week. |

| Mine grewvery slowly on pinkies every on every 5 days don't worry about it. Once they are of a good size to take fuzzies they really do grow rapidly. |
