Have you ever tried feeeding it a live pinkie?

Nope. I dont do it at that age usually.

I fed one to mine and now it is huge. It took the pinkie longer to die than it normally would have but it was pretty cool.

I had a pinkie that my pokey wouldnt eat and out of a moment of pity I gave it to my girlfriend who subsequently reared it to adult size through syringe feeding and alot of love. Now I try not to feed pinkies unless absolutely neccesary since she keeps mice as pets. Otherwise would be like her feeding rosehairs to the cat for variety.

I dont think they are. They are very different than pokies. THey arent as leggy at all. THey are in fact kinda stalky looking compared to a pokie. THey are also from a different continent.
