    size DOES matter

    ok I am having a small problem. I was feeding Nag fuzzies, but I didnt know I needed to feed his widest girth and not to the size of his head. So last time out I got what I thought were hoppers. I STILL dont see a bump in his body after he eats. so did I get fuzzies instead of hoppers, or what?

    does anyone have any kind of rough diameter for the size of the fuzzies, hoppers, and adult mice? I'm really stumped.

    I just fed him this evening and it went well (thanks to you all...I now warm up the mousie first) and he ate one mousie, and I tried to offer him another, but he didnt want it. sowhat do I do? do I just keep feeding the same thing or do I go back to the pet store and try for larger mice?

    I'm really confused, as usual

    thanks folks in advance

    If you're feeding mice, you should be buying adults. Don't worry about the whole fuzzy/hopper issue. Just get him fully grown mice. I doubt any of them would be too big for him to eat.
