At what age do you change from pinkies to fluffies? Our baby is approx 6wks old and fed 3 times on the pinkies, still assisted feeding though! But seems to be more and more active before he is due for his next feed.

Aye as PythonW says you're best of choosing the feed size by the snakes size, some grow faster than others and depending how many they eat/refuse their weight and size will change. As long as the feed is no bigger than the largest part of the snakes body you're okay :) 10%/15% is a good rule of thumb.

You don't change by age you change by wieght of snake the rule is you feed them 10/15% of their body weight for eg if your snake weigh 500g you would get 50g mice/rat
