ive noticed the last 2 feeds peaches has has they have went down quite easily and havnt left a signicicant 'bump' weve only had her a month.cant remember how old they said she was but i do remember the girl saying they were only out for sale from that day if thats any help (going to double check when i go pick up more pinkies tho)..do you think i should feed her 2 small pinkies or get her reasonable sized pinkies? i think if i were to look at her right away i would say she hadnt been fed,obviously dont want to over feed her or under feed her at that...maybe just being a stressful mummy over it all and take her with me when i get food to double check the size she actually needs?

thanks L

have alook at the other feeding threads, if theres no significant bump after feeding its time to move up a size - when they're growing

they can actually manage prey bigger than you would think the usual guide would be the size of the mouse should be no bigger than 1.5 x size of the snakes body, she may be ready for fuzzies, ask the shop to show you the size and decide from there

I was the same with Mo I waited ages to move him up tried just going up to 2 pinks but it failed to keep him going so I moved up to fluff. I was not so causious with Tabetha and she is better then even. If you look after a fed and they look "unfed" move them up a size
