well decided to feed my two again today, and they are both really really good feeders, two pinkies each and all gone, Huff wastes no time at all chomping but they both take their food from the middle, is there anyway to stop this or will they grow out of it as they get older? should i think about upping them onto fuzzies soon or just leave them on the pinkies for a few more feeds?

If your snakes take their food from the middle its not a problem, I'm sure they'll soon learn that its easier to take it head first though

feeding day again, every 5 days seems to be right for my guys, upgraded them to small fuzzies and both ate well. took Puff a while to finish but he ate the whole thing sideways, didnt even bother trying to move round to an end, just folded it in half, burst it and enjoyed, silly hoggy. was kind of waiting for a huge man burp after watchin him.
