how many fuzzies is your snake eating at one meal. is he eating them easily? when he has taken say, 2 fuzzies per meal for 4 weeks move him to small mice.

try him with a fuzzy. all mine are on fuzzies as soon as possible, there isnt much nutrition in pinkies. get him 2 or 3 wee fuzzies to start with.

we were wondering the same thing, we got our corn about 2 months ago, he is now about 6 months old. cant keep him still enough to measure him but he is weighing 23 grams at the moment, he has been on 2 pinkys, once a week, since we got him. how much bigger are fuzzies?

when he is eating 2 pinkies at a time, and looks hungry when he has finished both of them, offer him a third, then when he has been eating 3 pinkies a week for 3 weeks move him up to medium sized fluffs, and do the same again for small mice, but use 2 fluffs, and the same again for mediums but with 3 smalls.

hope that helps and makes sense
