    I think he should be way past the point of fuzzies if he is 2 years old. Do you have any pictures of him? I can bet he should be able to eat adult mice

    A hatchling can typically eat mouse hoppers or rat fuzzies. My four month old BP's are on rat pups. At a year of age yours should be on weanlings if not small rats, unless he's a really picky eater.
