What size food do you guys use for ATBs? Sometimes mine gulp it right down and sometimes they seem to struggle with smaller food. One of mine is as thick as my pinkie and the othek is as thick as my pointer. I know that is kinda unspecific but i don't know what else to compare it too. I'm 6'1" if it helps. My hands are pretty large. Both have great feeding responce (and love to go after my fingers too) but feeding time is a pain. Of my 16 snakes those 2 take by far the longest to feed. Not only because i feed them multiple small items, but also b/c they are so darn slow to finish each feeder.

BTW- the pinkie size one is pencil thick at his narrowest point and the pointer guy is pinkie thick at narrowest
