I know people that do that too. It doesn't mean you should feed them.

As an opportunistic eater, he will happily eat himself to death if you allow it. It's just like kids and sugar...gotta put your foot down for their sake.

Do you think a small fuzzy and small pinkie every 7 day is enough??
Or should I up the size of his fuzzy??

you stated he weighed 39 grams.

He should be eating once a week a food item that weighs about 10% to 13% of his body weight.

I would suggest something around 4.5 grams weekly. That could be 1 mouse that weighs that amount, or 2 mice that equal that.

That's probably plenty. I've kept my '16s on a single fuzzy, partially because I don't have the time or patience to add on a pinky to the ones who are nearly ready for hoppers. My heaviest is over the 70g mark, but still getting 1 fuzzy every 6 days. I'm waiting for a few more to catch up before moving any of them to a larger size.
