Question Feeding Fuzzies

Hi-

I have a 4 month old corn that I was feeding f/t pinkies. I've been reading the info. on there to find out when to switch him to fuzzies. I've read if your corn can eat two pinkies in a row with no problem, you can probably feed them a pinkie with no problem. So, I fed him two pinkies two times in a row (a week apart) and he had no problems eating them and digesting them. I decided it was time to try a fuzzie last week. I put him in his feeding container and hw was anxious to eat it but it seemed like it took alot longer to eat it than usual. I know it's bigger but it seemed like he kept opening his mouth trying to figure out how to get that big of a meal in there. He did end up eating it and it digested just fine. But I deiced to look at other threads to see if I read the info right about when to move him to fuzzies. I later found that some people were saying if your corn can eat two BIG pinkies it's time to move them on to fuzzies. Well I only gave him small pinkies.

I'm feeding him tonight or tomorrow and I just want to make sure it's OK to keep feeding him fuzzies as long as they're being digested fine.

I'll appreciate any feedback.

Thanks,

Cheryl

OK, good. Thanks for the fast response. I was just worried since he did try about 2-3 times to get his mouth over it but he did seem very content after eating.
