HELP, CORN SNAKE FOOD!!!

piojosa Dec 02, 2003 02:56 PM

Hello i just got a baby corn snake. It is about 12 inches. Ive had it for 2 weeks and ive given it 2 pinkie mice every week. The smallest pinkie is still quite big for it. The question is. I was about to by mice online becuase it is quite espensive buying pinkies from the store. But i need a minimum order of 100. Should i buy 100 pinkies? or 50 pinkies and 50 fuzzies. i can buy in bunches of 25 and since i dont know how fast i will need the fuzzies(newbee) i wanted to know whats the best conbination so that i dont get stuck with a whole bunch of pinkies iw ill not need. How long is it going to be b4 i need to give them bigger food? ex. pinkie-fuzzie-hopper i dont know how fast its going to outgrow the pinkies. so what combination should i buy if the minimum cuantity is 100. should i buy all pinkies or 50 pinkies and 50 fuzzies

If you feed 2 pinkies per week, 50 pinkies will last you 6 months. By then you will certainly be eating fuzzies. If you find the snake grows faster, you can feed three pinkies. I often do that for a while before I move up to fuzzies.

I would say 50 pinkies and 50 fuzzies.

I just looked at Big Cheese Mouse factory and they will sell 50 minumum quanity. They also have large pinkies which may be a better step between pinky and fuzzy.

I put their link below.
