Feeding?
My question is, how often do you feed your babies? I feel stupid asking this question because i have other snakes that eat once every 7-10 days, but i have never fed baby snakes before 4-6 weeks old lol.. so my questions is should they eat more because their meals are small? or is the normal feeding schedule for a snake ok?

Every 5 to 7 days. Sometimes baby corns are hard to get to eat at all. Good luck.

Re: Feeding?
Leave it over night, let them find it and they will probably eat it. I would also say 5-7, its kinda a general rule of thumb for most species (not all but most).
You just got them though, and I always try a feed first day or two as well, but if they aren't feeding after 2 or 3 days its not a big deal, they are still settling in and unpacking their things.

Re: Feeding?
I fed my baby Corns and MBKs every week right from the start. Now the baby Corns are yearling and the MBKs are almost there. They're all switched to rats now but I still feed them every week. Yeah 5-7 days is good time frame.

Re: Feeding?
I feed my Cal King and MBK every 6 days so I guess that's the same as every 5-7 days : )

Re: Feeding?
I fed my Mbk every 5 days as a baby. As she got older, I moved it up to every 7-10 days
