My corn, Osiris, is on a large fuzzy and a pinky at the moment. He takes them fine, so I was just wondering when he should move on to small mice? BTW, he's about 2ft long.

I personally would go onto 2 fuzzies now, for 3 feeds then onto a small mouse. Their shouldn't be a problem and the move up should be smoth this way.

How long has he been eating a fuzzy and pinkie? If hes had say 5 feeds like this he should be ok to go onto small mice, just ask the shop for the smallest they have for the first few feeds.

I just bumped Granite omto two fuzzies from one after I noticed how small a lump one created. ( i never usually see as she likes to eat inside her hide) I will give her about 5 weeks like that then move her up.
I think you will get lots of different opinions as it isn't set in stone how you do it. It also depends a lot on how much you think your snake will manage.

He's had about five feeds on the fuzzie+pinkie, so I'll see how big the smallest small mouse is at the shop. Thanks everyone ;D

Well, I fed Osiris a small mouse, and he ate it (he was just going into shed), but it took him about 4-5 minutes to eat. After about 4-5 days, there was a tail and fur in his viv, and I thought it was poo because it had a white bit with it and it was brown, but I'm not sure if it was a regurge or not. Any ideas anyone? I think I'll stay on two fuzzies anyway now.

Probabley poo, but i'm not sure. All i can say is try again with a small mouse and check the poo afterwards.

No it's very wet because like a bird a snake doesn't pee it kinda just goes all at once with it's poo. So it's like brown with a little white and nasty looking.
