Just looking for some starter info on feeding!

Hey
I just got my first corn about 2-3 months ago, and lil baby girl amel and she is doing well. She's feeding after a slow start, is very good to handle, has shedded twice and is in generally active and alert. I want to make sure that I do everything right for my baby, so I'm wondering when do I move her up from pinkies to fuzzies (she gets frozen food)? I have been feeding her one pinkie every 6-7 days, I leave her alone for a couple days after, and she likes to eat a night (I know that lenght may be needed before anyone can answer this, so I will measure her tonight and update this later, I'd say about a foot or a lil longer) but by the 5-6 day she is out and about ALL the time, and seems to be seaching for food, so I'm worried that she's not getting enough! Naturally she is fairly shy, and is still getting used to me, so she still hides. Please give some tips, and I would also love to get any other info that ppl are willing to donate about raising a happy and healthy baby corn!
sincerly,

Try feeding a second pinky with the next meal. It will look like a lot but really isn't. Try this for a couple of weeks. If there aren't any problems then switch to a small fuzzy. Once they move up to fuzzy, the growth spurt will really be evident.

yeah it is. the nutrition difference b/t pinkies and fuzzies is huge and it definately evident by the growth spurt. I have a miami who was a pretty fast grower when she was on pinks but when i made the switch it was "WOW, she's a little weed"
