Feeding live

[kizzy]

so the pet store only had pinkys, smaller than what i usually feed my bp, so first question, is it ok to feed two at once, one after another? ive been told it is but id like to double check.

now... because these are rather small, she wasnt really able to squeeze them like she normally does, and i think more relied on her bite to kill them, but then she continued to swallow. so i dont know if the mice were fully dead as she was swallowing them, is this dangerous or harmful?

Yes you can feed multiples. Just wait until she swallows the first one, then she may start looking around for more. After she has the first one down, you can drop the second in.

I don't think there will be a problem with pinks. They don't have any claws or teeth so they can't do any damage.

Did they have rat pinks? Id get her on rats asap

I'll second that. Get rat pinkies.

How small is she if you're feeding mice pinkies, even mice fuzzies? I start all of mine on mouse hoppers and small mice, or rat fuzzies.

By the time they've had three meals, they're full on either small/medium mice or rat pups.

well i guess im gunna find her some rats next time i feed her.

shes really not that big if you check out some of the photos of her. i know what i fed her last time was too small, the pet store i usually go to didnt have anything else at the time, and she was hungry!

but thanks for the info and tips!

When I feed live pinks to my corn (which is not very often) she usually eats them alive without any problems. They can't do anything to the snake.
