| 25 grams, my 2 foot 3 snake weighs about 100g! You need to get her weight up so id say the largest thing she can eat every 5 days!!! |

a year old and 25g's?
my 5month old corn is at 30'gs..
whats she currently feeding on?
guessing by my corns weight/size id go for either a fuzzy every 6days or if she can manage it 2 fuzzies every 6/7days,
but as soon as she can get her onto the next size up 
have you got any pics of her? |

4 pinkies could be replaced by 2 fuzzies..
2 small mice once a week is a bit too much, could just do one medium mouse every 7-10days |

Wish I could remember who posted these guidlelines in the first place, but it seems to come into use a lot lately and here it is again:
1 Pinkie (2-3g) every 5-6 days (Snake = 4-15g)
2 Pinkies (3-4g) every 5-6 days (Snake = 16-23g)
Small Fuzzy (5-7g) every 6-7 days (Snake = 24-30g)
Fuzzy (7-9g) every 6-7 days (Snake = 30-50g)
Fluff/Hoppers (9-12g) every 6-7 days (Snake = 51-90g)
Small Adult/Weaned (14-20g) every 7 days (Snake = 91-170g)
Adult (20-30g) every 7-10 days (Snake = 170+)

Sid is Currently 212gms (I think, will have to look it up when I get home tonight) and on 1 medium mouse per week. She's about 28 months old and is about 75cm long (I'll have to measure her again soon cos she's gone dull and might be ready to moult in the next couple of weeks). I'm going to start feeding her every 10 days (saves me 1 mouse a month :-)
I've always gone by, if you can see a lump in her belly then the mouse is the right size (1.5 times the girth of the snake). But the mice I get seem to be getting bigger even though they are supposed to be medium mice. |

| i certainly wouldn't feed more frequently than every 5 days, and remember to make any changes in diet/food item size gradually. there's no rush to get her up to 300g+... any drastic change and you'll just end up with a short fat corn with health problems |
