Hey guys! Been a while no? Well Dimi is doing fine at the moment, still on two pinkies every seven days, but weighed the two together and they only weigh 5g!! Surely that's not enough for her?

Dimi's Weight: 30g's
Dimi's Length: 21"

They are about 1.5-2cm in length, so could I put her up to three or will I be stretching her too much? I haven't got the oppurtunity to go out and get any bigger pinks until saturday or at least friday, any ideas? Feeding her again tonight.

I currently feed Reggie a 3g + 2g pinkies and hes 25g and about 18 inches long so for now i would just get the biggest pinkies you have and give 2 if them. i would have thought 3 in one feed was a bit much.

It might help if when you've fed him the 2 larger pinkies, take a photo and put it on here and maybe we'll have a better idea of what'll be best practice. Just a little note on from what Hannah said about fuzzies; fuzzies aren't a massive size up from pinkies in terms of girth, its their length that makes them larger.

When LegLess was Dimika's size, once she managed 2 pinkies with obvious ease I bought a pack of fuzzies and started her on the smaller ones from the pack and she was fine on them, then worked through the pack to the bigger ones.
