How many?

[PhyllisB]

How many Pinkies should I be feeding a baby Cornsnake that is about 10 to 12 inches in length? Right now I'm feeding one Pinkie once a week. Is this adaquate? Thanks

Is it making a lump? If not then move up to a fuzzie. If you want your snake to grow faster feed it every 5 days. I feed mine one item until am about to move up to the next size then I give it two for the next 5 meals or so then I move up in size to one item and start the count all over again.
Right now I have corns that were born in August 03 that are ready to take large hoppers to small adults.
Cheers,
Trevor

Try offering a second. If he's not ready for it, he won't be interested in the second.

Pinkies should only be used for the first few meals. a 10 to 12 inch corn would have no problems with a small fuzzy mouse every 5-7 days.

Ok thanks for the help.
