| Hi guys, I see on some recent posts that its wrong to feed 3 items in one sitting. Is this a general rule of thumb? As its only recently I had this convo with two diff snake owners and both advised a few weeks of 3 pinkies before moving to fuzzies. I'm now confused as I obviously don't want to harm my snakes by following their advice If it is well wrong. |

| 3 is a bit much to digest, and a fluff will be less than 3 pinkies, if 2 pinkies do not leave a bump and fluff will be no problem x |

If there's a bump there's no need to move up, once there little or no bump then move to a fluff.
I personally do not feed double fluffs but that's just a choice, midnight went from fluffs to smalls but she's a girthy snake. Lightning went from fluffs to hopper and now smalls x |

| the advice i was given by the shop when i first bought harry was to go from single pinks, to double pinks and then triple pinks if he could manage a feed of triple pinks to go to fuzzies, i didn't bother with the triple pinks and after a few feeds of double pinks i moved to fuzzies and the weight shot on him, i'm now finishing my stock of smalls and he'll be on mediums |

| Generally, 2 items of smaller prey are a tad bigger than 1 of the next size up so 3 is just silly imo and ott also as a33, it can muck around with digestion. |
  
A very special super, duper thanks for K :3 |
