I've already asked somewhere but I've lost the thread- how big is a fuzzy compared to a pinky? I only ask because Sirius is on two pinkies regularly. While he is starting to hunt for a third pinky during feeds, IMO he simply isn't big enough to take that much mouse!! He's still pretty thin though growing fast (he's due his second shed with me in the next few days).. I don't want him to pop with too many pinkies.. so I wondered if two fuzzies might be a good idea depending on how big they tend to be..
Any pics would help if anyone has them ta!!

OOOh thanks Ell.. yep. Faaaar to big for him, lol!! He seems to have almost mastered big pinkies (almost.. sometimes he can only handle one..) so I'll give in a while. Thanks for the help guys

You'd be really surprised at what they can handle! We moved Bubbles up to fuzzies a couple of weeks ago - he was having 2 pinkies before that and when I saw the size of the fuzzy compared the pinky I thought he'd never manage it. But lo and behold it was gone within 5 mins!
A big pinkie is almost 1.5 times his width though, so i wouldn't go any bigger for now. When he's readily taking three I'll have a rethink, he's long but not wide enough!
