Anyone else got an insane eater?

ninja_tortoise Oct 04, 2003 10:29 AM

My Petco corn, the one that i thought was amel but turned out to be something else, eats any time i offer. i offered the other day, it chowed down a newborn pink, then i noticed it's eyes were hazed, so i knew it was about to shed. last night i pulled the shed out of it's cage. beautiful new colors.
anywho, this is the second shed in like 3 weeks.
is this ok?
thanks

>>My female creamsicle is a pig. She is my disposal unit.
She gets any leftovers on feeding day. Every once in a while one of my snakes might refuse a second mouse so Arwen gets them.
Last week she had her own meal and then some. She ended up eating five hoppers.
She doesn't like to eat adult mice.
She is large enough but just doesn't like them so she gets hoppers. I usually alternate her feedings with three hoppers one week and two the next then three...etc.
After five last week she will get an extra week to recover....lol
What's wild is the fact that she just shed Sunday morning which means she was basicaly "in shed" Thursday when she ate.
