Feeding after regurge question

snakemother Feb 16, 2014 02:46 PM

Hello again! My vet and I got my baby kingsnake past his blockage issue, and I'd been feeding him one tiny pinkie every time he pooped out the last one, because he's so skinny from not being fed during the resolution of the blockage issue. It has been about two weeks of one pinkie feelings, so I upped it by giving him a pinkie and a very tiny pinkie. 24 hours later he threw them up. The vet had said my husbandry details are great, so I think I just went to the second pinkie too soon. I know that with an adult king you should wait 10 days to feed again, and I'm wondering if it's the same with baby's? He's about 4 to 5 months old, about 16 inches long and extremely thin. Thanks in advance for your expert help!

There is so much that could have been wrong here and with little info it would have been hard to give advice.
