Feeding Phases
I'm planning to buy a huge supply of feeders that has to last me a while, so for my reference, can anyone tell me around what age did your corn(s) shift from eating pinkie mice to fuzzies? And around when would he start eating every 2 weeks instead of 1?
I know it varies from snake to snake, but just so I can have a good idea... Right now he has to eat 2 pinkie mice to be satisfied every week. One pinkie mouse isn't enough, but a pinkie rat is a bit too big. |

Re: Feeding Phases
I always use the rule; never feed a snake anything bigger than 1.5 x its largest part of its body. It has always worked for me.
If you use this rule it is easier to tell when the snake needs to change.

Re: Feeding Phases
It sounds like you could probably just order a bunch of fuzzy mice and no pinkies. If he's already eating 2 pinkies, he could eat a fuzzy mouse instead.

Re: Feeding Phases
There is no time schedule. It will depend on how fast that they grow.
And I feed all my corns once a week.

When they're older will they give any indication that they prefer meals once every 2 weeks instead (less apetite, refusal of meals), or is that up to me to change the schedule? |

Re: Feeding Phases
Mine have been on a weekly schedule for years.
Some people go 10 days to 2 weeks but they are usually feeding heavier meals.

Re: Feeding Phases
All of my snakes when they were babies used to eat every week. Now I feed them adult mice (just one large) and still sometimes they will eat weekly and other times they will eat every two weeks. It just depends on how hungry they are at the time I guess.
