at 9 months old a fuzzy/fluff should be fine providing it's not more than 1.5 times the width of your snake at the widest part of it's body. i think my youngest 2 were on small mice by a year old. |

Mine's 9 months now and has been on small mice for the last 2 weeks. He noms it down and is happy to slither back under his log and not be seen for the next 2 days :P The mice are only about 1.2x his body (rough estimate) but definitely not more then 1.5x. Just try again with a fuzzy, and see how he is A picture of him eating it might be good.. The experts around might be able to help more :P |

corns are greedy buggers and have eyes bigger than there bellys.I would of thought 1 fuzzy is plenty for now. |

how much of a lump is there?i wouldnt jump up to 2 yet,let it get used to 1 fuzzy for a few feeds,it gives their stomachs chance to adjust or they might regurge it |
