generally when what they are being fed no longer leaves a noticeable bump in their stomachs..
3 pinkies is probably equal to a small fuzzy so you could try them and see how they do  |

you can get some pinkies to alternate - one fuzzie one feed and then the next feed go back to two pinkies, then back to one fuzzie and then stay on fuzzies if they are ok with them
glad to be of some help! |

Can I just gate crash a bit save me posting on same subject.
2 of my corns are about 18" and have just started giving them 2 pinkies very 7 days. 1 pinkie wasn't leaving a nice bulge anymore. I know when they are on doubles it is advised to go onto fuzzies. I was given some fuzzies but they seem huge compared to the pinkies. Definitely bigger than their girth. Do fuzzies vary in size? Just wondering if I have been given some large ones?? And could get smaller? |

Good luck. |

The shop by me sells fuzzies and they are quite variable in size. Ask to have a look and see if you can pick out some smaller ones,thats what I do. Means you get to pick the ones that look the tastiest too (excuse how that sounds) 
Hope the fuzzy feed goes well Shelby. |
