out of hoppers
hey guys quick answer appreciated here cuz my ball has to eat in like an hour. hes on hoppers right now but the store said they are out because of the recent weather. i have two pinkies in my freezer however. the guy said more hoppers should come in on tuesday. my ball is underweight so i wanna do whats best. should i give him both pinkies tonight or wait until tuesday/next feeding time to give him a hopper?

Re: out of hoppers
I say both. If you're trying to bulk it up, then definitely feed it now and then again when they restock. Also, the store might sell out before you get there and then you made the snake wait for nothing

A mouse pinkie is practically a bag of water. Two mouse pinkies today with a hopper on Tuesday won't hurt him.

I've always thought of a pinkie as a living gummy bear

Re: out of hoppers
Do they have any rat fuzzies? A small one is pretty close to the size of a hopper. I made the change for that reason and a rat fuzzy is less likely to hurt my snake and easier for the snake to kill because they are slow and don't resist the inevitable

Re: out of hoppers
I never weight the ones I was getting but I always picked the smallest pups they had and some were smaller than the hoppers, just with a bigger head.

It's more important to match the food to the thickest part of the body and less important to go by weight

Re: out of hoppers
Pinkies and hoppers are too small. Hatchlings eat hoppers out of the egg, usually on their first 3 meals or so.
This chart is an awesome guideline...
