Two fluff is the same as a small. But from fluff to small width wise is quite big. I personally didn't feed double fluffs as one if mine had a regurge. I went straight to smalls. If she's ok eating doubles. I would do that for a few feeds and then up to smalls aslong as the mouse is not more that 1.5 x the widest part if her body. Night be worth getting a small in and judging the size x

I don't feed double fluffs either as I can get hoppers which are the size between fluffs and smalls. A Georgina said, double fluffs is the same as a small weight wise but smalls are a lot wider. I also think it could be worth getting the smallest small you can and taking a look at the width compared to the width of your snake. If the width of the mouse isn't more than 1.5 times the widest part of your snake then she should be able to manage it without problems
