Thanks I was so happy to see the food has been kept down. I really want it to get better!

Im wondering if I should be adding vitamins to the pinky mixture? Or if since I got it to eat just stick to pinkies. I wish I had a syringe to inject the food with extra nutrients to get it back on track quicker but then I wouldnt know what to add to it. I looked online and seen people feed them with chicken baby food, eggs and calcium powder. I would try that but I heard a while back that poultry was hard on snakes digestion. Wheather thats true or not I do not know.

My instinct tells me to stick with the pinkies BUT if someone knows of a mixture of food/vitamins that would speed up the process of getting this snake on the right track I will do that instead.
