| hi there i have had my corn (jaunty) for exactly 1 month today. im not sure how old he was when i got him but he was very small and looked just like a hatch ling so i would say he was no older than 2 months old at that time. i have been feeding him one pinky every four days since i got him. but today when i feed him he acted like he was looking for more. so my question is should i be feeding him more than one at a time or more often. please can someone advise. cheers alan. :) |

| If the single pinky is not leaving much of a bump you could try to give 2 pinkies at each feed. But I think I am right in saying that you should increase the time between feeds to 7 days when you move to double pinkies then you can move it gradually back to 5 days between feeds again. The food item should be no bigger than one and a half times the snake at the thickest part. |

prolly wouldn't hurt to try 2 but don't be surprised if sometimes only one is taken per feed
as red says, increase the feeding interval initially then gradually bring it back down to however frequently you currently feed |
