How long is a thawed pinkie good for? I have two snakes that are problem feeders and when I put in a thawed pinkie they don't always eat it right away. How long should I leave it in before I throw it out?

I usually go 24 hours or earlier (some of them seem to rot faster.)

I haven't had a problem with my corns and milk eating. I feed them frozen too. What I do is feed them in a seperate container with their 'meal' and leave them in their container for a while. That way they have access to their meal(plus they can't hide anywhere) and seem real interested in it. Sometimes all I have to do is wiggle the pinky a little and they go for it. I tried to feed my milk in his cage and he'll eat one then hide. When I put them in a container then I can get them to eat all the pinks I give them. My milk will eat 2, my male corn will eat a fuzzie and a pinky and my female corn will eat 3 pinks at a time.
