At last, i have won the battle of switching over from frozen salmon to Pinkies.
My 1st Albino Garter, took no time in taking a pinkie. (In fact she be going over to fuzzies now, as the greedy pig ate 2 pinkies yesterday.)
The smaller 1 took a lot longer. After Medusa ate the 2 pinkies, i put another 1 in yesterday, she wouldnt touch it. So last night i shaved off some salmon skin and wrapped it around the pinkie.
This morning she took it, without touching the skin. But i had to put Medusa in a RUB so as she wouldnt eat the pinkie. Went to make a cup of coffee and came back to find other snake (not named yet.) eating the Pinkie. So my patience and perserverance paid off.
I feel lot happier now they are both getting the full vits and goodness from a pinkie now.
Just thought i share this with you, also to say, it can be done more so to newbies like myself who was worried about getting them over to pinkies.
Am keeping my fingers crossed on next feed i dont have to use the Salmon. See how it goes, if all goes well. 3 4 legged furry creatures will be getting some nice salmon as a treat.
