Well tonight was the first tile we switched from pinkies to fuzzies....I was very nervous about it as he looks so tiny, but he gobbled it down lol
Should I worry about it if he's eaten it now or is there still a chance its too big for him?

Aww, I bet he'll be fine :) One thing to bear in mind - Corno was always roaming about within 2 days of eating her pinkies, 1 day just before we moved her up to fuzzies, but after her 1st fuzzy she hid for 3 days straight, so I'd advise waiting the 3 days rather than the usual 2 before handling for the first few weeks just to be on the safe side - unless he is obviously roaming about of course!

the first fuzz is always daunting, i was checking 8 every 5 minuets after his first! like smart bunny says give it 3 days rather than 2 before handling and he will probably take a bit longer to poo than he usualy does too!
