Re: Cliff feeding
Glad to hear he's eating well, maybe it's time to bump up his prey size to 1 fuzzy a feeding.

Re: Cliff feeding
Nope,i tried one fuzzy earlier,and he had it half swallowed and he regurgitated it.i left it an hour and then gave him pinkies as usual.im gonna leave it 2 more months and then try a fuzzy and see how it goes from there,no point in stressing him out causing him to refuse a meal,he hasnt refused yet so i wanna try and keep it the way its going.he is in good health.growing really fast.

Re: Cliff feeding
If he's doing 4 or 5 pinkies he should have no problem with a small or medium fuzzy. Give it another shot.

Re: Cliff feeding
I did.he is big in the body, but the neck is still a bit too thin for a fuzzy,he can get it half way down and then regurgutates it.no point in forcing him to take a fuzzy when he cant handle it yet.il give it another few weeks maybe 2 months or so and then bump it up to a fuzzy, he should be ready then.

Whenever I have corn snakes in my store, they are eating hoppers and sub-adult mice at 20''. At 1', they had no issues with a fuzzy a week. It is very odd to hear that yours struggles with something that is about 1/4 of the size that I have experienced the same sized snakes eating.

Re: Cliff feeding
its only 5 or 6 months old.it might sound unusual to you,but here in ireland and most of the other people i have spoke to onm other forums,and people who keep corns about corns have the same experiences im having.snakes grow at different rates.he is eating well and im not complaining,he will take fuzzies when he is ready, not when im ready.

sorry but you cant say the same sized snake,when i havnt shown a pic of Cliff,it may be the same in length, but body thickness has alot to do with it too.

Re: Cliff feeding
Perhaps your definition of a fuzzy differs from ours? You are speaking of mice, correct? What is the weight of your fuzzy? Your pinky?
The weight of the snake as well is more meaningful than a guess at the length.
