Once the first one has been swallowed and the tongue is flicking again I then offer the second.

Corns can be greedy so just because they are looking for another one doesn't mean they need it.

Sounds like a good time to increase then, 2 will be fine, tbh it doesnt really matter when you feed the second one.

called him that because when i first got him he was a grumpy sod and kept attacking me!!

now with some careful handling he no longer strikes at me!!

was a bit frighting at first but got him under my thumb now lol
