i fed my 5 month old corn today for the first time.Was really suprised as he when for it before i had a chance to put it down.

Noticed when he swallowed it though there was no sign of any bump in his body.
i only fed him one pinky to see how he go's

Are fuzzy's a lot bigger than pinkies and when should i expect to start feeding him them?

Allso the crafty devil has worked out what to do to get me take him out.

He climbs up and sits on a row of led lights at the top of the viv and rubs his head on the mesh top.

For only having him 4 days he seam really tame.
 
Most corns are really sweet. If there's no lump, you should feed him 2 pinkies, or depending on his size, a fuzzy. As long aa the feed is no more than one and a half times his thickness.
The sizes really depend on your supply. I have had pinks that vary a lot. There are places that sell large pinks, peach fuzzies, and fuzzies as well, so you have stages. I have some on two peach fuzzies now that I'm about to bump up to fuzzies.
Cheers!
BTW, what morph cornsnake do you have?
 
kimbrya is right...it will depend on your supplier. Big cheese for example, has small pinks, large pinks, and fuzzies. i ordered large pinks and in that batch of 50, were a few peach fuzzies (larger than pinks, but havent gotten white fur yet, they have fine fur that is kind of like peach fuzz, and they're slightly smaller than the fuzzies). so when Blaze got too big for one pink, i started him on two pinks, then one peach fuzzy, now he's onto two peach fuzzies, next i'll try fuzzies.
at first i tried to give him two pinks, then bumped him up to one fuzzy, but he regurged the fuzzy. so i'm gradually working him back up to fuzzies.

the arctic mice or mice on ice from T-Rex that you would find at Petco or Petsmart are dramatically different in size. their pinks are tiny, their next size up is fuzzies and they are huge compared to the pinks.
 
sounds good.i just tryed him on one pinky to see how he wouldbe and he had no worries.ill try 2 pinkys for a wile.cheers guys
