so, i have moved midnight onto fluffs, which took absolutly fine yesterday, no trouble at all, havnt seen him since! lightning however is too small for fluffs, although he is only 2 inches smaller than midnight his head is haldf the size. well anyway last night i thought i would give lightning 3 pinkies as i have loads and he was acting as if he wanted more like he does after the first one. but after the third he wanted more, but i was worried that 4 would be too many? any advice?

thanks

if he can manage three or four pinkies then a fuzzy will be no trouble for him

One thing you will realise about cornsnakes pretty quickly is they can eat something 1.5 times the size of their widest part of their body, this is much larger than their head but with their flexible jaws and stretchy skin they defy logic by eating something so much larger than their head.
