Just a short clip of Nimbus eating his first fuzzy since we got him.
He ate it very quickly and finished it about 40 seconds after I stopped filming. Do you think I should feed him 2 next time or move him up to the next size? He didn't seem to have much of a lump after eating.

Aww bless him,thats so cute. My snakes didn't like to have their food from forceps to begin with,but now they are fed in a shallower tub they enjoy chasing their fuzzies around lol.
Can't blame Nimbus for wanting a warm meal |

Nimbus certainly looked like he enjoyed his meal I have to say. He really goes for it doesn't he
I'm going to try Loki with a fuzzie and a pinkie today as he's not got much of a bump anymore and I have 3 pinkies left.
We held the fuzzy with tweezers first and he was terrified of it wobbling about lol
I warmed it up a little with warm water and then put in in the tub with him and he went straight for it and gobbled it up.
Seems he likes his food warm and still |

Look in the search at the topic 'mouse size photos' that will help! If I knew how to link I'd have posted it for you but I don't so you'll have to do the search!! 
Got it, thanks, here's the link

Looking at the pic on that thread, the fuzzy looked quite big. I did think that the ones I have are not much bigger than pinkies. I migth see if I can get larger fuzzies for Nimbus. Until then I think i will try feeding 2 of the fuzzies I have here. |

So what is the next size up from a fuzzy?

You could give him two fuzzies at each meal until the ones you have are used up then move him up a size.
Rats are more fattening for snakes, I think that's why some people won't use them.

Funny you should say that, the shop did say he had been having rat pups. I didn't know they were bigger,doh!
I may well put him onto them for a while. |

when mine started 2 munch a fuzzy quickly i put her on 1 small rat pup every 8 days as small mice were just a bit 2 big didnt do her any harm infact she had a healthy growth spurt! although opinions do vary on feeding rats to corns! id personnaly have no probs doing it again! |
