Fed Nobby last night on his fluff.. he is eating it so quickly and hardly a lump showing..Went to my local pet shop to ask if i could look at the the next size up,the fluffs she showed me were smaller then the ones i normally get from PAH,but the small mice were huge!So went to pets at home and bought fluffs again and 4 small mice to try.Now my question is the mice are quite a size increase so should i offer double fluffs to see if he can manage?I kmow the rule is 1.5 times widest width but im still worrying....

I'd go on two fluffs for a while :) give him some water at feed time tho, a lot of snakes prefer damp fur to eat :) good luck
