Hi,

My cali king hatched in july and yesterday it took 3 pinkie's. I upped it to 3 after I had been feeding 2 and he had still been looking around for food.

I was reading the other day that you should start a snake on fuzzy's a.s.a.p as they are more nutritious? I however still have 9 frozed pinkies left.

should i therefore go any buy some fuzzys and feed him 1 fuzzy + 1 pinkie every 6 - 7 days until i run out of pinkies n then take it up to 2 fuzzys?

thanks for advice....

please tell me if i am over or under feeding first snake u see

Hi Daz. My advice would be to stick to 3 pinkies until they run out and then try your snake with 1 fuzzy to begin with and see how he gets on with that.

yeah, I agree with MB, might as well get the pinkies over and done with then you can try 1 fuzzy and if he doesnt take it you can always buy more pinkies... and wont have a load of fuzzies waiting to be consumed for god-knows-how-long...
