    At 10 grams all you need are regular sized pinkies no need for extra small (extra small are usually hours old whereas the others are 1 to 4 days old).

    If some appear too big because there is always variance in a bag use the biggest one last, and keep in mind that hognose are capable of eating a prey up to 1.5 times their girth size.

    Perfect Prey is great and one of the preferred suppliers in the community! You can also order smaller quantity items from them. Big Cheese Rodent factory is also another favorite with a fairly cheap flat shipping rate but no smaller quantity order options. Both are highly regarded.
