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!

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
Perfect, thanks!, saved that link for future ref

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.
