i'm currently feeding my snake 1 pinky a week. she's grown quite a bit since we go her (not massively but a little bit) and 1 pinky seems like too little for her now. i'm thinking about feeding her 2 pinkies a week because she's still too small for fuzzies.
is it advisable giving her 2 pinkies one after each other or waiting a couple of days inbetween the 2 pinkies? |

| You give them on the same day, I just put two in the feeding tub and let them get one with it, I don't do any kind of waiting. |

an alternative to double pinkies is shortening the feeding interval to every 5 days instead of 7
if you're feeding 2 pinkies per meal if you let the first one go down about 1/4 to 1/3 of the snake's body length before offering the second one
when she's grown enough that a fuzzy is no more than 1.5 times the width of her body at its widest point then move onto fuzzies
initially when you're increasing the meal size i'd stick to feeding weekly then work it down to every 5 days |

| depends on where you get themfrom really, ask at your LRS for a small fuzzy and have a look for yourself, it can always sit in the freezer till she's big enough if she isn't already |
