should i feed my 6 month old female 1 or 2 pinkies...it seems like she can take two..but i don't want her to regurge...i'm not in a real hurry to have her breed...* i know that will still take about 2 years*...

Looks like by the pic she could be stepped up to bigger meals. Go to a peach fuzzy that way you are still only feeding her one food item just of increased size. More cost effective for you that way.

got it thanks...still need to use up some pinks tho...ill just feed her two a week then...do i feed two pinks in one sitting or seperate sittings for example like 1 per 4 days....which ones better?

feed them 2 at a time and then leave her a week so she can fully digest them. My Aug '03 gets 2 every 7-8 days and does fine, and I figure I'll wait til she puts on another inch at least before feeding more. with her small head I prefer pinkies to having her struggle with a larger item
