Feeder Size?
I have a young Lucy Rat, he's less than a year old and he's 20 inches long, about as wide as a pinkie finger at his widest point.
He eats 4-5 pinkies a week, should I be feeding him 2 fuzzies instead?
I think he can handle it, he's nearly as wide as a small fuzzie.... and his mouth is certainly big enough to take one in.
I would just be fearful that his prey item might be too big, maybe that's an irrational fear, but maybe I just need reassurance...
Also, I have a female (Quintuplet Hybrid) who is identical in size who eats 4-5 pinkies also, so just with her and him eating so many at one sitting, I am almost certain that they'll need fuzzies.
I just want to confirm my thinking here, should I step up to fuzzies? Maybe a mix of small, medium, and large ones to see what they can handle?
I'm sure this is going to be a case where if I ask, then maybe I already know the answer lol 
Ever since I lost my MBK, I just don't have as much confidence in myself as a mother to my scale-babies... I know it wasn't my fault, but I can't help thinking that I should've been more helpful to him.
I guess that's making me question everything I do anymore, so with that... Any advice or guidance would be extremely appreciated!!
