if he took the fuzzie ok then keep him on fuzzies.. at 9months im guessing he should be on these anyway, on average corns need feeding between every 5-7 days or so... but it depends on the owner and the snake..
personally i feed my lil guy every 5days but others feed every 6 or 7..

hope this helps

the food item should be no more than 1.5 times the width of the snake's body at the widest point........... so ignore head size!
i'm guessing it will need feeding up a bit so a meal about every 5 will help

plenty people do without problems, as long as no substrate can be ingested. I have fed mine in his viv for nearly 7 years- no problems!
