corn feeding.

I have a baby corn. She is probably 14" long, and as thick as my pinky finger. I've been giving her one pinky every 7 days. Can I give her two pinkies a feeding? When should I move her up to the next size mouse? She eats the pinky pretty easy. Doesn't even kill it, eats it live.

Thanks.

Re: corn feeding.

You could offer one every 5 days if you want, you would t want to over feed in one sitting when she's a baby. And depends on her growth when she can move to the next sized mouse hope this helps!

Re: corn feeding.

I'd move to fuzzies. Snakes can handle much larger meals than what most think.

Try giving a fuzzy every 7 days.

Also if you are really worried about size get small fuzzies...

Re: corn feeding.

I fed my baby corns a mouse about 1.5-2.0 times their girth every seven days for the first year and then backed of to every 14 days after that.
