Hi I am finding it a little difficult to get hold of good quality frozen foods in my area. Hermes has yet to have anything as we only got him yesterday but has been taking 1 pinkie every 7 days, I have not weighed him but he is longer than the 9L Rub that he is in. He was hatched in June this year. If I was going to order from A&N it seems more sensible to buy a larger supply of increasing sizes, otherwise the postage is silly.
What quantities in which sizes would seem sensible? I am unsure of usual growth rates to allow me to work it out. I was thinking of Pinkies (1.5g) 5 keeping him to what he knows for a while. Large pinkies (3.5g) 10 or would I need more Fluffs (5.3g) not sure how many.
Hope this makes sense. There is a picture of him in the introductions. Thank you.
Do check your local pets at home, although not all do sell frozen mice. They are not the cheepest per unit but there is no postage and £1.40 for 4 pinkies is not breaking the bank. I have been happy with all of the ones I have had from there.
I fed Rosie every 5 days on pinkies and fluffs. I brought her home in September last year and fed her on pinkies and then double pinkies until January. I then fed on fluffs until the end of april, with a few feeds of a fluff and a pinkie and then 2 fluffs.
However if I have learnt anything from this forum it is that every snake is different.
