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

Re: size DOES matter
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.
