So my little guy weighs 21 grams I bought some fuzzies at petsmart and these things look way huge they weigh 5 grams I went local shop and found small fuzzies about 2 grams. I was feeding him 2 pinks every five days bulge gone and poop day 3-4 sometimes by day two bulge gone i tried the fuzzie from petsmart and FREAKED OUT. It took him long to get down he managed but thought that was too big so I gave him two small fuzzies instead as they seem to go down easier. Is this ok?
 
This is known as the Munson plan. It is a good guideline for prey size vs snake size.
According to the chart your snake based on weight would be on 2 pinks. HTH

-Single pinks (2-3g), every 4-5 days. (Snake = 4-15g)
-Double pinks (3g x 2) every 4-5 days. (Snake = 16-23g)
-Small fuzzies (5-7g) every 5-6 days. (Snake = 24-30g)
-Regular fuzzies (7-9g) every 5-6 days (Snake = 30-50g)
-Hoppers (9-12g) every 5-6 days (Snake = 51-90g)
-Weaned (14-20g) every 7 days (Snake = 91-170g)
-Adult (24-30g) every 7-x days (Snake = 170+)
-Jumbo Adults (40-50g) every 7-x days (Snake = 400g+)

Note: Adult females are fed more frequently than adult males (especially following brumation). Females are fed every 6-8 days; males are fed every 7-14 days.

This is by no means scientific, and not all corns will cooperate 100% with the schedule. The weight ranges given for the prey and snakes are approximate.
