Question stuck on pinkies.........

Prana.......Refused: 2f/t fuzzies, 2 f/t adult mice.... Accepted: 2 f/t pinkies, 1 live fuzzy...............

Do you think she could be stuck on pinkies....and she makes me really work at it to get her to take the pinkie. I have to follow her head around for like 5-10 min before she decides she will eat it....and of course it's not much, she sucks it down in less than 1 min.....tell me what you think!

Well never mind the question! She just took a small pinkie, and an adult mouse! That would make 2 small pinkies (only big enough to make a larger pinkie) and an adult mouse!!!!!!

Keep trying on something bigger...I didn't feed mine and left her completely alone for about 2 weeks before I attempted to feed her again. But now she has taken her 2nd f/t adult mouse at (last measurement) 22 inches and has "done her duty" after the first mouse!

I am not an expert on Ball Pythons but I don't understand why any BP would even have anything to do with a pinky or a fuzzy bigxjake. Ball Pythons can accept *Adult* mice from birth. A two month old Ball Python should be eating at LEAST adult mice. ? As in why was he ever even offered fuzzy mice? Not even hoppers or small adults yet.

from what I know you are not supposed to feed any larger than the biggest part of the snake (I can understand pinkies) but fuzzy's were about the right size when I got prana, and did not want to give her something to big. I did it because I needed to compare the size of the prey with the size of her and did not want to give her something to big.

follow the pinky with an adult, put the adults nose to the end of the pinky and guide it in with.
