Hi
I have a 7 month old corn who weighs 8g. Is this underweight? I have had her 2 weeks and she has fed and poop great both times. She was being fed every 6/7 days and I have continued to do this. Should I change the feeding days to less? is she ok? |

| but postage is quiet high on frozen stuff, buying frozen online is only really worth ya while if ya ordering in big bulk buys due to delivery costs. eg a&n frozen foods who alot of the breeders an owners with lots of snakes use. charge £20 delivery |

a33272 I get all my stuff from there. They have been very helpful when speaking via telephone and email. Ordering and delivery is quick and easy. Quality of goods is superb, and all goods come very well packed. I certainly wouldn't buy from anywhere else, unless its a impulse buy when visiting somewhere  |

its because its usually next day before 12 and in insulated boxes so its still frozen on delivery. i think northampton is £10 delivery. so for what it would cost u in fuel would proberly not be worth online cheapness |
