The weanlings can also be known as "Hoppers" and Fuzzies can be known as "Fluffs".
Just in case people get confused :P
I've been buying fuzzies from my local shop and from that size chart it apears they are weanlings! No wonder it took loads of pinkie feeds before they could manage them. |

| one thing to add also is that if anyone is feeding their snake 2 pinkies, they mightaswell move up to 1 fuzzy as im sure 2 pinkies is probably more of a bigger meal than 1 fuzzy and itl probably save you money feeding 1 fuzzy rather thn 2 pinkies aswell |

Sorry, but you cannot assume this. You should not feed a snake a prey item more than 1.5x girth of the snake.
It is better to prepare a Corn for a size increase by multiple feeding smaller items for a bit. |

| some people would be shocked to see what size meal any snake can swallow lol i know young corns can be very sensitive to food sizes and often regurgitate without hesistation. but once the corn snakes a sub adult to adult size , 3 feet and over they should be able to handle any size mouse, even extra large mice of they really wanted to. even tho extra large mice is only reccomended for extremely big corns in the 5 foot plus range |

| Feeding 1 fuzzy would mean the corn snake having to open its mouth wider than eating 2 pinkies, 1 at a time. I beilive it is needed to feed double pinkies for a while before going onto fuzzys, i guess it does depend on the snake tho. |
