Feeding More Than One Fuzzy

[indygunnerguy]

So according to the chart, Gargamel should be eating approximately 100 g per feeding. Since I have frozen fuzzies, I was going to try and use them up first before buying rats. That being said, I should feed him more than one at a time. How long between fuzzies should I wait to offer another?

According to the chart, Gargamel should be eating around 20 g per feeding. Seeing as I have already bought frozen mouse fuzzies, I would like to use them up before I buy frozen rats. How long should I wait to try and feed a second fuzzy after the first is taken?

Some snakes will eat multiple prey items & others will quit after one. No way to know if yours will until you try, but if I were you, I'd thaw a couple to have
them ready, immediately one after another. You don't want to leave much time between prey items, as it's harder for them to digest that way & can result in
a regurge, when undigested is added to partially-digested stuff. If Gargamel is a fairly bold feeder, hopefully he'll keep going. Optimal time is usually evening,
& most BPs feel safer when peeking out of their hides ("ambush predators"), & if the room lighting is dim, that too can help. Reduce commotion too (others in
room etc).

oops? duplicate post?

That is exactly my problem. last week was my first successful feeding and he would not take it from me. I had to drop feed it. He did not take it until after I went to bed so I may just drop to in there at once for him. Do you think that would be okay?

Yes my phone would not update and it did not show so I reposted. Is there a way to delete this one?

Not sure, I just "reported" it as a duplicate post, we'll see if mods catch it?

Sure. All you can do is try...see if he takes two, & if he does, maybe 3 is worth trying? Snakes will be snakes...

I'm very "spoiled" by my colubrids...taking prey right from the tongs... (don't hate me, lol)

The duplicate thread said fuzzy mice, I think.
