fuzzies

how long do i wait to feed another fuzzy

is it 5 or 7 days, ive tried 5 days and she doesnt seem to want to eat it....

At what interval were you feeding before this? Have you recently switched to fuzzies, or was that last one the first one?

If she has refused this one, at five days, do not offer her another one in two more days- wait at least five again.

Hi Johnny,

I would reccomend going to a 7 day feeding schedule for a bit since you upped the size of food.

For now, Dont over stress the snake by trying to get it to feed if it isnt ready to...just give it another 5 days or so and try again then feed every 7 days there after.

I agree with what has already been said. When you up the food size, you need to up the feeding interval as well. Also, when one of my snakes refuses a meal, he has to wait until his next regularly scheduled feeding day before I offer again. If he refuses that one, then still the next regularly scheduled feeding day... and so on and so forth.

If the snake refuses to eat, do you us throw the offering away or do you refreeze?

If the snake refuses to eat, do you guys throw the offering away or do you refreeze?

I will refreeze one time. If the mouse doesn't get eaten the second time it is thawed, it gets tossed.

I don't have to do this much, though, because I only have one snake that's kinda picky. Ironically enough, it's my king snake. I usually only feed him the same day another snake is due to be fed. That way if he doesn't eat, the other one gets the mouse.
