BTW, I ended up giving another pinky (f/t) to Milagro last night...I go by activity & appearance...she looked empty & was "looking for a meal". She's pretty shy yet
(about taking from tongs) so she took the pinky while in her cardboard tube...left just outside, she came out to sniff it & then dragged it inside to swallow under cover.
FYI- This is typical behavior for many hatchlings, in case your rosy refuses to take from tongs. This had been 4 days since her previous meal, which was well-digested,
& since she's so tiny there was no reason to make her wait. This is true no matter what kind of 'baby' snake you have. And yes, I "pinched" the nose of the pinky before
offering...it helped her find the right place to grab, though she ate one backwards previously...I was impressed! But it took her a long time, lol. This is basically just giving
a little help with your kid's homework.LOL
