is there a visible bump after feeding, if so there is no need to move up. If not you can try on fuzzies. Just dont feed anything over 1.5 x snakes thickest width.

Mine was on 2 pinkies, they were gone within a couple of minutes and there was the tiniest visible lump so I moved her up to a fuzzy today and she took it no problems and that time there was a very visible lump. I am glad that I moved her on from pinkies
