someone who doesn't know any better- perhaps someone we should inform rather than make snide comments about?

and gas build up is basically fine, it just means he may be making some gross farty noises soon hee. stinky mouse farts.
And you can probably feed him small adult mice, most ball babies are born big enough to eat full grown mice. pinky mice are a waste of money unless your particular ball is really picky or severly underweight. If his thickest part of his body is about the width of a quarter, he can eat an adult mouse. you can ask them at the store for a smaller one, usually they can accomedate requests.
