- select the appropriate nozzle based on the size of the snakes mouth
- put the mouse segments into the glass tube of the pinky press
- screw the plunger onto the body of the pinkie press
- hold the snake securely so that it can’t bit the handling
- carefully insert the pinkie pump nozzle into the mouth of the snake and ensure that the nozzle tube enters the throat and not the air pipe

- clean the pinkie pump carefully including the nozzles
