Yesterday I handled my corn for the first time since my move now that he had settled in and was fed. I noticed that he looked kind of skinny, or skinnier than I remember him being, but I didn't have my scale on hand and couldn't weigh him to be sure. He was about 88 grams when I weighed him at 6-7 months. I figured weight loss could be normal if he was stressed from the move, but then I remembered another thing I noticed last week.
When I bought some hoppers at the pet store last week, I noticed that they were a bit smaller than the hoppers I'd gotten in Florida. I assumed the NY ones were the "right" ones, because the pet store here seemed more knowledgeable/reputable than the one in Miami, but now I'm wondering if they were smaller hoppers or not hoppers at all. They are about the size of the thickest part of his body (not bigger though).
Anyway, my question is: should I feed him two of the small ones? I have two left and though I'm worried about regurg, I also don't want to let them go to waste! F/t mice in NY are more expensive than I'm used to...Or would it just be better to go up to the next size? What's the risk with feeding 2 prey items in one feeding?
