How long will pinkies last?

[Mizaniverse]

So I am really close to getting my BP He's a 2015 (didnt say which month) pastel. I am going to order some food for him before he comes (good planning, right) but I was wondering about how much of a waste getting pinkies would be. From Big Cheese rat pinkies cost about 50 with shipping... and there are 50 pinkies in the bag. My question is how long my BP will stay eating pinkies. And then the next size up.
Thanks

A big waste since they usually start out on pups, haha.

I'd skip the pinks too and start with rat fuzzys and pups. How long they last will depend on how much and how often you feed.

That depends how big the snake is... 2015 doesn't tell you much about how big it is. Do you know how much the snake weighs? If so we could tell you more definitively what he should be eating.

Someone else would be better off to generalize that for you, I've worked with some hatchlings for the past year, and some of them are still eating pups, some are eating weans. Where are you getting the snake from? Did they not mention what size the snake's been eating?

Ask the seller how much he weighs. An early 2015 could be eating small rats by now while a late 2015 could still be on pups.

You could also wait until you actually have the snake to buy the feeders, then you'll really know for sure how big it is. It's probably better to let the new arrival settle in for a few days or a week before you try feeding anyway, and it's not like it takes weeks and weeks to get them once you place the order.

If the snake outgrows the size of feeders you have before you're done with them, you can always feed two at a time until you use them up.

Start with fuzzies, pups are too big!
