Getting off Pinks

[ConcinusMan]

it's safe if you don't over do it. D3 overdose isn't pretty. i don't supplement at all and my snakes do just fine. Pinkies have plenty of D3 and calcium. I feed babies not too full, 3-5 times a week.

I will skip a feeding tonight then...I was feeding everyday...they were just taking a couple of bites each, but last night they were eating a little more and their tummies looked quite bulgy. One scrub in particular is a little pig. I think I will go with every other day with small feedings until I see a little bulge.

You can feed them every day, if you don't have 50 of them lol. But seriously, I would skip days every now and then, especially after they eat dense food such as pinky parts.

I feed my newborns every second day during the first three weeks or so. After this period I take out the good eaters or the bad eaters (depends on their numbers) and house them apart. The bad eaters still get food every second day and the good eaters twice a week or so.

same as the above,l grade them as to how they feed, separated as needed,then once they are properly established feed twice a week,l keep them warm the first winter,unless their still bad feeders,then l see what their like when l warm them back up

In the end I suppose it doesn't much matter how you do it as long as they do not over eat or starve!
