i noticed my girl was still v. active after her feed today. she struck at my wifes finger through the viv so i figured she was still hungry and gave her one of the boy's pinkies. its the first time iv upped her feed as she was already on fluffs when i got her and i was just wondering if it was to soon? shes around 42g, 18/19 inches and about a yr and a half old. is a pinkie and a fluff to much?

As long as you aren't too ott about food size, feeding bigger prey items is perfectly fine and dandy. 2 of my 2010 youngsters are on smalls atm.

Edit- at a year and a half it should be on smalls at least.

If you're worried about moving up a size all at once you could give her the remaining fluffs you have using two at each feed then move up a size. That would also give you the chance to see if she copes with a fuller belly ok.
