| When you feed him two pinkies, and they don't leave a bump anymore. With the size difference - it depends, how big your pinkies are. There's a big difference betwen a newborn pink, and a couple of days old pinkie, some can be quite chunky, and almost fuzzies already. I was lucky enough tp be able to choose, so I fed 1 large pinkie and one small one, and then, next time fed the smallest fuzzy, I could find, no probs. |

Razee is right, of course  . The indicator is whether there is a 'bump' after he's eaten. It's quite good to do a few feeds of double pinkies before moving on to the fuzzies, just to prepare him for it.
Have a look at A VERY ROUGH guide to feeding ....it gives you some idea about what to do, although its more down to common sense and you knowing your snake. You can see from the table that there is quite a size difference within each prey item. I always go by weight rather than what the prey actually is for one of my snakes, who is a bit of a fussy feeder.
From what I've heard, they REALLY start growing once you move them up from the pinkies, which will be great for Cyrus....and you  .

You could try him on fuzzies, as he's been on double pinkies for a while. The total weight of the double pinkies is probably more than the weight of a single fuzzie, so he should handle it fine.
