Feeding Multiple Pinkies

When feeding my corn multiple pinkies, how should I go about doing it? Do I feed him one after the other? Do I wait until he's eaten the first and then feed him the second? Do i spread it out over a period? What do I do?

Put the two pinkies in your snakes feeding tub at the same time. Your snake will most likley take one right after the other.

That's how it works for me! I do put them at a little distance from each other to prevent any confusion about where to start eating with the corn, but that's maybe only my silly thought.....

I also heard that putting two in together can confuse the snake so I tend to let hime eat one then give him the next one straight after.

I just drop them into the tub at different ends, the snake always finds them both.

We usually put multiple pinkies in at the same time - less disruption to the baby corn from opening the tub several times to add prey.

There is often a 'window' of about 20 minutes after their first pinky during which baby corns are looking for, and will readily accept more prey. It seems that after that time, unless they are very hungry, they decide they are full and retreat to digest for a day or so.

I also put them both in at the same time. Never confused any of my snakes.
