Is there a rough sort of weight to move up from pinkies to the next size mouse? Would the next size be fuzzies?
Not got much of a clue when it comes to mice as my royal has always been on rats and is now on some fairly big ones too! |

there is a guide on here that details weight: http://www.thecornsnake.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=22619 i have a copy of it writen down and use that along side how visable the bump is after a feed to help me judge when to move up a size.
If you are currently feeding a pinkie you can move up to double pinks before going on to fluffs, if you go by the rule of food item no more than 1 and 1/2 times the widest part of the snake you can't go wrong |

As Lou said, go by girth as a general rule.
The progression of sizes tends to go something like this:
Pinks -> Double pinks -> Fluffs/fuzzies -> Hoppers (if you can get them, if not double fluffs) -> Smalls -> Mediums -> Large -> Ex breeders/extra large/jumbo.
When I moved Apollo up to fluffs, I got a small fluff to start with, it might be worth trying to source a smaller fluff to try him with first. |
