Think we are having one ( or should I say 2!!) 9g in 6 days for Harry and Calypso!! Couldn't believe it when I put them on scales Harrys gone from 23g to 32g and calypso from 26g to 35g. It's amazing what fuzzies do!!

When Spot switched from pinkies to fuzzies he almost doubled his own weight in a month. Was amazing. He's just gone onto mice so I'm monitoring this next growth spurt. Its always good to keep weight records if only to marvel at them.

Can I just ask something? The fuzzies she are on are about 6/7g I brought a small mouse for our non feeding royal and it was only 8g?? So was that incredibly small or have I got large fuzzies lol. Just wondering if 8g is average small mouse size, if it would benefit her to have small mice instead of fuzzies

According to TSM their small mice are between 8 and 14g so thats quite a difference and I would say that was a small, small mouse. I haven't weighed mine but the small mice I buy are much bigger than fuzzies so probably nearer 14g.

Woo,Harry and Calypso are doing great!
The small mice at the pet shop I get my snakes food from are HUGE compared to fuzzies! I'm glad they have hoppers there to be honest as it'd be a massive leap in size.
