I tell you what, I have had pet dogs and cats for over 40 years, have raised 3 children and have 6 grandchildren and nothing, absolutely nothing has ever been as frightening as watching Kitty struggle to eat her first Fluffy  . She was hungry, so when I dropped it in she was straight onto it, even as I looked and thought "Oh, NO, it's massive!!!" I ran to get 2 pinkies out to quickly defrost then saw that she'd got it half way down. I'm thinking "her jaw will NEVER go back"; then "her skins going to pop" THEN she got it down and now she's sleeping it off and I'm checking in case it comes back-up!!  Mind, she's been on 2 x pinkies and they haven't been causing a bump!! How stressed am I? |

Oh my, I am sure this is how I will feel next Saturday when I'll give Discordia her first fluff... I'll skip the posting part and just come read this thread again :p Thanks about that! I see we're all quite alarmed with this big step. Good to know I'm not nuts. Or at least I am not alone. |

It's always scary when they go up a size. I'm kind of excited about being able to put Aphro and Apollo up a size soon, but kind of nervous too. The snakes always seem completely unphased, it's just me that's worried. |

Thanks everyone - feeling less anxious now!! It just took her so long to manage to get at it - she lunged and tried sideways, then head-first twice but just couldn't seem to get started! Now have to bin 2 pinkies - !! |

You would be surprised what they can manage. Sirae ate a jumbo mouse the other day (sold as large, bonus!); she weighs 197 grams, and the mouse weighed 37 grams.
Apart from an extra day of digesting, there were no problems. And I've got larges now... |

moving up asize is a daunting thing, well for us anyway! I've had that 'oh he's never going to eat that, what was i thinking' moment every time i've moved the boys up a size! when 8 first moved to smalls i thought he was going to pop then i was expecting a regurge, he wasnt bothered in the slightest. |

I so understand what you mean. I worry about my animals far more than I did my children. Not sure if that makes me a 'bad' mother......oh well they grew up ok!!! |

Yes, Razee, at one point she was there with the back feet and tail sticking out of her mouth with a big bulge in her throat and I'm thinking "How do get a snake to Drop-it?" , no probs with the dogs! My problem is that she's the same width as the pinkies but the fuzzis/fluffys look twice as wide as her!! |

Scary, isn't it? I'm still like that with mine, even after going through all the sizes. It's when they appear to be stuck half way through, when I panic |

I fed my snake a fluffy for the first time last week and felt the same but she was fine :) Just being over cautious! I'm sure she'll be fine too
