Guys my Sydney is approx 3 months old now and my friend has his/her brother or sister. He feeds his Snake one pink on a Wednesday and one on a Saturday. I only give Sydney one pink every Friday. What do you guys think? Should I do as my friend does? Should I give Sydney two pinks every Friday? I'm unsure what to do and just want what is best for my little buddy!!

Thanks SilverWings!!
I'll try Sydney on two next Friday then after around 4 weeks I'll move him/her up to a Fuzzy.

If there's no bulge when the pinky has gone down, by all means offer him a second. You can give him two for a few feeds, then try a fuzzy. Just be careful, when I buy fuzzies they come anywhere from 5-9g, the bigger ones might be too much early on. If you buy a few it might help to weight them and start with the smallest. |

As you can see Sydney has almost the same girth as the pinks now! |

Sydney eating his pink! There is no bump as the pink goes down. Should I keep Sydney on one pink or try him on two next week? |

It's personal choice lol, my babies get fed every 6 days. My adults get fed when I feel like it (i.e. when I look at the calender and go, huh, guess they should have some food now...) |

Every 7 days is fine. I have always fed every 7 days, even hatchlings as it was just easier for me to remember, lol. |

Thanks Redware! I can't weigh Sydney whilst I'm in camp but I read the part that said if he/she shows no bump he/she may take another but only when the first pink is 3 quarters of the way down! Sydney is approximately 3 months old so I think I'll try him/her on 2 pinks. Also it says feed every 4 to 5 days and I've been feeding him/her every 7 days. Is this ok or should I switch to every 5 days?

Hi Deaks.
There is a great guide to feeding here,
http://www.thecornsnake.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=27833
As it says its a rough guide but it should help.
How often you feed and what you feed will depend on the weight and size of your snake.
Two feeds a week is a lot, but it can be ok to double feed if they are not ready for the food size up.
Check the post and hopefully it will clarify!
Hope that helps |
