Problem with feeder fish!

[Sitting_duck]

Will do.

It's 1:53pm here. Should I still leave it? If I took it out tommorrow morning, that means it'd be in the tank for about....14 hours.

He might not feel secure enought to come out and eat until night time. So, altho I always feel bad for the fish, yeah, I'd leave it all overnight.

Ok, thanks.

Ok so i bought some pinkies today! How often should slithers eat? She has been eating everyday, though i still don't know if i've been overfeeding. Anyway I have enough pinkies to feed everyday if thats ok. Those things were super expensive! Like 4.49 for three.

oh also i posted a new pic of slithers in her tank. Its in my album. I added a rock to climb around on. Does anyone else think the tank is too small now?? thanks

1-2 times per week, depending on the snake's age/size.

Slithers is a decent sized, but not huge, adult. I'd start with two pinkies once a week and see how that goes. Actually, I'd start with one scented with fish and if she takes that then I'd begin the two pinkies once a week schedule

Just wondering how the feeding went?

[IndigoBug1987]

Ok she wouldn't take the pinky at first. I dunno, she would grab hold of it then spit it out. Anyway later that day i rubbed the pinky on some minnows and she snapped it right up. At first i thought it was too big but after a bit she got it down. I think it was the legs she wasn't used to or something. Couldn't get it turned around in her mouth maybe? I was wondering should i feed her two pinkies at once or like once on monday then on thursday?

OMG when i went to petco to buy pinkies they had these little orange cornsnakes! They were only as thick as a pencil and soo cute!
