Who knows much about racers?

I've got myself a young black racer. He's eating mouse pinkies. He'll eat as much as I give him. I just don't know how much to give him. He weighs 22g. I'm currently going at a rate of 4 pinkies every 5 days. Really whenever he seems to be looking for food. He doesn't seem to be growing much, though. I was thinking of switching to something like 2 every day. The pinkies are extra smalls from rodentpro.

How much should I feed a racer this size, and how often?

Sounds like he may be ready for a little bigger food item, I myself would feed 2 times a week not everyday. good luck

23 grams i woud bump to a large pinky or small fuzzy every 4 days

Thanks guys.

He's gonna be stuck with those for a while. Supply isn't good around here. I'll work something out, though. Thanks again.

Small fuzzies will work for a while, racers will eat and eat, but don't succumb to what they want ;) Keep them on a good schedule.

Learned that the hard way. Seems like how it is with this species. Read someone liked to feed his til they were satiated. Bad idea from my experience.

Here are some pickachurs, why not.

Nice! I always like their coloration and overall look as adults, there aren't many snakes that intelligent and easy on the eyes at the same time.
