A good rule of thumb is nothing bigger around than its head. It may eat it and have trouble digesting it or regurgatate the fuzzy and then you will have a problem. You can feed multiple small items. Not many people can get neonate racers feeding in the first place. Good Job

Getting racers to feed isn't especially hard, they're just very shy feeders. I had one that would only eat if the food was in his hide box and I was out of the room. I kept that snake for over a year and never once saw him eat. The food would disapear, and he'd be fatter, but he would never do it if I was watching him, or even in the room. Most of the adults I've kept have been the same. BTW, if he's eating pinkies, I wouldn't change the routine any.
