Skinny Corn

[Seashellchimes]

Hi there. This is my first post, so please excuse my mistakes.

There's a corn snake at a local pet store who was unceremoniously dumped there. He is free, but very thin. No signs of illness, and according to the staff his weight loss was not rapid, but due to a really high temperature cage and not enough feeding for long periods of time.

I heard somewhere that with really skinny snakes that are not in such dangerous positions where they need to be force fed, you should feed them fuzzies. The apparent logic in this is because fuzzies were still on milk and not moving much, they have more fat for the snake. I'm wondering if this is true, or if the opposite is true (continue feeding the snake at the largest prey size).

Also, if any of you have dealt with really thin corn snake sized snakes, how often would you feed him?

He probably should just be taken to a specialist. But I'm not sure the specialist would take an emaciated snake and then adopt it out...

Anyway. Any info?
