How long are they on fuzzies?

I know, I know, every snake is different, but I have no concept. Weeks, months, years. I'm almost ready to move Ala up to fuzzies. She's been on 2 pinks every 6-7 days for a few weeks, and I'm thinking if I keep her on that schedule for a few more weeks, she'll shed again, and then be ready (and I'll be confident!) for fuzzies. I buy my feeders from her breeder, and just wanted to try and get a nice supply without over buying. Of course, I'm going to talk to the breeder about it, but thought I'd see if you guys could give me some direction too.

TIA,
Becca

You guessed, it varies. But MOST snakes will have a growth spurt when they start getting mice with fur so once they are on fuzzies it usually isn't that long before they can start taking bigger fuzzy/small hopper size stuff- definitely think months not years. If you just go by the "1 1/2 x the girth of the snake" rule of thumb you'll be fine.
