Just moved Stan onto a small fuzzy after being on double pinkie for a while. My question is how often. Before he was on 2x2g pinkies every 5 days, he has moved onto a 4g fuzzy, should I keep to every 5 days or increase it slightly. Stan weighs 20g. Thanks for the help. |

Forgot to add have read the rough feeding guide where it says increase to 6-7 days,but was wondering because the actual total intake weight is the same. |

Im not sure but I think the time between feeds is also due to the size of the mouse to be digested. Its easier to digest 2 small pinkies than 1 fuzzy with bits of fur etc. I feed mine every 7 days on 1 fuzzy but I have only recently started fuzzys ( 2 feeds) but she has put weight on every week. |

Some people feed once a week, some every 5-6 days, when on fuzziness.
Best thing is - watch your snake. Does it digest fast, poops after 2-3 days, is active? Then feed every 5-6 days. If it takes ages digesting, and only poops after 4-5 days after feeding, then maybe feed every 6-7 days. You'll soon learn what works best for your snake :-) |

Thanks for the answers. What you are saying Razee makes sense to me. |
