Fuzzy mice to small rats is quite the size jump, my friend. Small rats are about 4.5" long (without the tail) where as fuzzy mice are tiny. Again, I'd say it would be best for you to go with fuzzy rats, because they're bigger than fuzzy mice but not huge comparatively, and then up the size when you see fit.
