| keep him on two pinkies for a few weeks..that way he gets used to having a bigger meal.. when you think he is ready or when there isnt much of a bump left try him on a smallish fuzzy.. if you want when you do move him up alternate him on 2 pinkies/one fuzzy for a while |

i'd go for feeding 2 pinkies per feed too, initially increase the number of days between feeds for, for example, 5 days to 7 days, then the next feed of 2 pinkies wait 6 days, then after the next feed go back to your 5 day feeding schedule.
when he's happily and consistantly taking 2 pinkies per feed try him with a fuzzy providing its not more than 1.5 times the width of the snake's body at its widest point |
