Hey ive not been on for a while due to moving and just got my internet on.
Anyway's Cornflake has been on fuzzies for about three months now and im curious to know now if i can start to feed her two of them, if i can start feeding her two how often should i feed her two every seven days or should i leave it a bit longer between feeds.

Kind regards Chris & Cornflake

Hi Chris,

I guess it all depends... How big is your snake? How old is the snake?

maybe try feeding her two on her next feed and seeing how she does? you dont have to feed her two every time while shes getting used to it..if you dont think she coped well then go back to one and maybe try it again after another feed..
i cant remember where it is but someone posted a general guide as to when they should be moved up to two pinkies ect i think she should be fine but take it slow and see how she goes.. someone else will probs be able to help you a bit more soon

I would try two. Does she seem aggitated when you handle her between feeds?

I think that it wouldn't harm to feed 2 every 10 days. At least that is the adjustment I made with mine.

Hope that helps x

Ok well ive fed her today but i will try her on two the next time i feed her. She seems ok when she's handled only seems a bit touchy/curious when you first put your hand in the viv but other than that ok

It depends on the weight of the snake, here is the guide to help you.

When they're on single pinks (2-3g), I feed every 5-6 days. (Snake = 4-15g)
-Double pinks (3g x 2) every 5-6 days. (Snake = 16-23g)
-Small fuzzies (5-7g) every 6-7 days. (Snake = 24-30g)
-Regular fuzzies (7-9g) every 6-7 days (Snake = 30-50g)
-Hoppers (9-12g) every 6-7 days (Snake = 51-90g)
-Weaned (14-20g) every 7 days (Snake = 91-170g)
-Adult (20-30g) every 7-x days (Snake = 170+)
