hi guys got couple of hatchling kingsnake lately, well i had been looking for pinkie and cant find any, can i use house gex as alternate? hope someone can suggest some tips to me. thanks

Where do you live? You can get pinkies in most medium size and larger cities. Stores that sell reptiles or mice should have them. Is there a local herp group? Where do local herpers get their pinkies? If all else fails, you can buy them online. If you start your hatchling on lizards it will be hard to transition to pinks. I would wait and get some pinkies. The snake won't starve if it doesn't eat for a week while you locate the proper food.

I'd go to the online places as a first resort, even if I lived in a city. They are cheaper, faster and you get some dry ice to play with (safely of course) too. I've had good luck with Big Cheese Rodent Factory so far.....you see them advertised here routinely.

hi guys thanks for the help but i think i cant order online because i live in the asia part, pinkies are hard to find here unless you breed them yourself, i think i must start on it. hope i can get some pinkies soon, if i feed house gex to them will they adjust when i find some pinkies for them? it may took more than a week to find some. any substitute food for them? hope can give some more advice thanks.
