I thought Hopper and Fuzzy was the same thing?
Maybe im wrong, lol.
I thought after small and large fuzzys it was on to small mice?

Think names of mice are very confusing, especially as they differ so much in size and between shops. Hope this is helpful.
Mouse feeding guide:
1 Pinkie (2-3g) every 5-6 days (Snake = 4-15g)
2 Pinkies (3-4g) every 5-6 days (Snake = 16-23g)
Small Fuzzy (5-7g) every 6-7 days (Snake = 24-30g)
Fuzzy (7-9g) every 6-7 days (Snake = 30-50g)
Fluff/Hoppers (9-12g) every 6-7 days (Snake = 51-90g)
Small Adult/Weaned (14-20g) every 7 days (Snake = 91-170g)
Adult (20-30g) every 7-x days (Snake = 170+)
To give you an idea of what they look like - http://www.canberraexotics.com.au/admin/photos/frozen%20mouse%20chart.jpg
The guide for feeding is 1.5 times the width of the snake, thats a maximum size.
You can work out if your snake needs to move up in size when there is no longer a bump once they have eated their 'dinner'.

many places will just grade them on weight anyway and personally i've never seen hoppers offered anywhere...it's basically pinkies, fuzzies, small, medium/regular, large or XL/jumbo/ex-breeder mice
if you're buying from a shop you can usually ask them to pick out the biggest pinkies, or smallest fuzzies or whatever, or if you bulk buy you'll probably get a mixture and you can re-grade them yourself  |
