How long are F/T pinkies good for?

[howiet4702]

Hey,

Just a quick question on F/T foods. Once they are thawed out, how long are they good for? 1 hour, 6 hours?

Just curious. Sometimes my little guy waits a little to eat it. Is that bad?

Thanks!

Many people leave them over night for those snakes that take their time, I would discard them after that. I personally only (need) to leave them in for a maximum of 30 min. If my snakes don't eat them in that time, it usually means they aren't going to eat them that particular feeding- I say this with regards to established feeders (some babies need more time & sometimes some coaxing!) hope this helps

I have only needed to leave a rat over night for my python and in the morning, it stank!!! (it wasn't reg ether)

I wouldn't leave it any longer than 1 night though.
