Pinkies for a fuzzie able snake

Ructo is officially on fuzzies, but I still have a few pinkies left. How should I go about this? Should I do three at a time, throw them out, two at a time, or what?:shrugs:
 
depends on the size of the snake. i usually do doubles and feed at the same rate as i would if the snake were on fuzzies.
 
For snakes that are on the awkward cusp of not quite fuzzies, not quite pinkies, I do the same as ohboi mentioned...double up. That said, me personally I'm usually feeding 2x per week at this point. I might do 2 pinks on my Wed feed and then 1 pink on my Fri feed for a while, then bump to 2 and 2. If the snake handles 2 and 2 for a month I'll then switch to small fuzzies and back off to once a week feedings until more size is put on to comfortably go back to bi-weekly. I do this, again, until the snake is up to small adults. Once on small adults it's back to once a week feedings.
 
that should be fine. Try to use smaller fuzzies for now and don't push the feedings. Once onto the fuzzies just do once a week feedings until the snake has some modest weight gain. Reading between the lines....basically avoid putting the snake into a situation of potential regurgitation.
