There are very rare occasions when a corn will consume a cricket, but crickets do not provide the nutrition a snake needs.
IMHO no corn should be sold retail to consumers that is not taking f/t whole pinkies. For the runts that can not handle a whole pinky, it should not be sold retail (or wholesale with intent of retail) until it can hand whole pinkies.
And for me personally - though I haven't sold corns yet, it won't be until they can handle whole large pinkies. The reason being, many people buy frozen pinkies from petsmart/petco - and they have one size available that might have small or might have large - in an opaque bag that makes it hard to judge the size.
It probably doesn't take long for a corn neonate to reach a size where they can eat large pinkies, in fact, I suspect many can out of the egg. I guess I'll find out next year. ----- I decided my old sig was too big.
