[Starling96]

[Starling96]

is there anything else i could try?
minnows are hard to get where i am at?

[guidofatherof5]

What have you tried so far?

[RedSidedSPR]

If you really want to get minnows, PetsMart/PetCo (curse them) Have them for a decent price. And those stores are everywhere. 13cents. But I'd go with guppies if ya can.

[Starling96]

ive tried scented fuzzies, some rosy reds, guppies, and worms ill try again today.
she's pretty big like 2 /1/2 feet and im wondering if the minnows are to small for her.
have any of you had that problem?

[RedSidedSPR]

If they're small just feed more. I get a bunch of random fish for my snake. Some are small and he has 'em down in seconds, but some are big and take a minute. Anything works, really.

thanks for the help.
i got him to eat some trout.
not much but something lol

[RedSidedSPR]

It works. Fillet is good. Not the best thing to feed nothing but... but it works. Use that to get him eating something else. Scenting etc. Along with fillet 'cause its good to,

[Starling96]

yea ill try scenting some fuzzies with it.
should i feed twice a week?
or more often or less.

[RedSidedSPR]

If you're feeding fish, it depends on how much. My snake gets 10 live fish twice a week. But pinkies can be less often...

offer him a lot and see how much he eats. That'll give you a good idea how much he needs. Then if you're feeding fish you'll notice he gets hungry again pretty soon, so 4-5 days you do it again.

But if you're feeding pinkies (like 2-3 per feed) Once a week should be fine... i think. I don't feed pinkies so I'm not sure. It less often than fish and worms.
