right as some might know Cola was having feeding problems and would not take to fluffs. she was one year old last week and is weighing in at 36 grams, she takes double pinks no problem and they are gone in ten mins at the most. Shoulod i be getting her onto fluffs now to start building her up?
Thanks all, Terry

As long as they're not too big compared to the snake's girth, you should be good to go :)

I'd try her with one before you run out of pinkies. At least then if she refuses you've still got a meal to offer in a day or two.

Apollo went onto fluffs at 25g. I just found a very little one for his first try If the fluff isn't wider than 1.5x her widest point then she should be okay.

You could try skipping a feed.. make sure she's extra hungry!

It works for me whenever Kitty doesn't want to eat both fuzzys, instead of 7 days I wait till 10- 12 and that does is..
