| If hes swallowing the mouse with no effort and hardly any or no bulge definatly move up, you will be surprised how big a prey that can actually fit in sometimes. |

| I know the feeling, I've recently moved my teeny tiny butter with the kinked neck up to fluffs, I was sooo worried it would hurt him, as he has to work hard enough to get pinks past the kink, but nope, he inhales them no trouble lol! |

Having this dilema , mine will take a fluff in a few seconds but dont seem anywhere big enough for small mice , was thinking of feeding a fluff and a pinkie just to add bulk before moving up.

I've been feeding Falco on 2 x fuzzies for the last 4-5 weeks or so. The difference from fuzzie to small seems huge, but think he's almost ready now too  |
