Feed question on a previous regurger

Ok, So my snake Mr. Grumpy Pants had 2 regurges a couple months back. I have done the regurg protocol and gotten him back up to 2 pinkies which I slit quite a lot. He is getting quite big around and they don't leave much of a lump, even the first day. I still have about 14 pinkies left. He is about 19-21 grams. Would it be ok to feed him 2.5 pinkies until I am out of pinkies, or should I start feeding small fuzzies? The pinkies are about 2 g each. I have found him to be quite vicious during feeding time, and that he is always hungry fr more after he has had his 2. It does take him quite a while to digest them, he normally poops on day 2/3 and day 4.

Thanks for the advice!
 
Not sure if this directly relates to your situation but I saw a video on you tube of a female feeding her corn snake 4 pinkies in a row because she was out of hoppers.
 
After 2 regurgitations I will feed a few more with 2 pinkies. But that is me, better save then sorrow!
 
I think he's still a little small to go beyond two pinks. Once he gets up into the peach fuzzy range, 24 grams, then I'd go to 2.5 pinks, then maybe even three toward the end. If you feed three at once, I'd recommend cutting them in half.

How many pinkies pete? Would you stay at two, or bump up to 2.5 or 3?

I wouldn't go beyond 2 pinks at this time. Your corn seems to be growing just fine on 2 pinkies for now. I transition my snakes to peach fuzzies that aren't much bigger than a large pinky at 25 grams, then gradually increase the size of the prey every second feeding.
