Is my Corn ready for Hoppers?

If you have a look at a nutritional comparison (I know rodentpro's site had one), you'll find that older mice are better, so 1 peach may weigh the same as 2 pinks, but will be better for your snakes growth. In the same way, 3 fuzzies will offer less nutritionally for your snake than 1 hopper, even if the combined weight is exactly the same.
So in a long-winded reply, I'd say change to the next size is definately the way to go
 
Three fuzzies? A snake which can take three fuzzies can certainly take a hopper. I would think that three fuzzies add up to quite a large meal.

That's what I wanted to hear. I wanted assurance that a 100g Corn could swallow something that big.
Thanks
 
FYI,
It's better for the snake to be feed ONE food item of the proper size than three smaller ones.
 
general rule is the food item should be about 1 1/2 times as thick as the widest part of the snake. the weight of the snake doesn't really matter cause one snake weighing 100g could be thin and long while another one could be shorter and thick.
