Don't have right sized food

have a juvenile corn snake, about 8 months old and 23.5 grams. ive been feeding regularly with pinkies but i probably should move to something bigger soon. may be a really obvious question but as i dont have access to small fuzzies and regular fuzzies are too large, would it be better to feed it pinkies at shorter intervals (and if so how often) or is it okay to try two pinkies in one feeding session?

You should definitely at least be feeding two pinkies of 2-3 g each weekly. The usual point to move up to fuzzies is around 24 g. Different providers have different ideas on what's a small or large fuzzy (or other class) but a 24 g snake can easily handle a 5-7 g fuzzy. You should try to find fuzzies because the nutritional value is different than with pinkies. There's more calcium, for one thing, which is very important for your snake's proper growth.

I agree with Caryl. I would double up on pinkies for now until you use up whatever you have left. If you can weigh the fuzzies, that would help. He can handle one that's around 5-7 grams. They can eat a much larger meal than it looks like they can handle.
