OOOOOOOOOOOOOOh my god!!

Ace must have been ready for the up to 2 pinkies!!! WQent to feed him this morning and he struck the first one so quick and hard that me and the 2 girls let out a scream!? Then he took no2 slightly less violently?!
Goodness me! Got 2 pinkies left so will give him them next week then up him to fluffs (is that right?)
Handling going fantastic! He seems to like the gardening gloves and has taken to sliding through my fingers, much more chilled than he was before!
Am a very happy corn owner!!

Glad to hear things are going well for you. How exciting that he struck his food for you, I'm still hoping Apollo might get the idea when we go up to smalls. He just casually takes them then starts engulfing them. I have tongs for him but I really doubt they're necessary! Maybe my new hatchies will be more enthusiastic.

Are the two pinkies leaving much of a bulge? I had to keep Apollo on two pinkies for a while because one wasn't big enough but he wasn't wide enough across to manage a fluff. We got there eventually and now he is growing so fast to make up for his slow start.

As long as he is okay with two pinkies and a fluff isn't too wide for him (1.5x the width at his thickest point) then I would be tempted to try him with a fluff (maybe a smallish one to start off with).
