new feeders already...?

Hey, my corns just recently moved up to eating fuzzies...maybe for about a month now, but now they seem to take those down very quickly and the bump disapears about 3 days or 2 days after feeding. Is it already time to start moving up to a larger feeding rodent??
 
The two general rules of thumb for feeding regarding prey size:
  1. The prey size should be equal, or up to, 1.5 times the width of the snake's diameter at its widest point; enough to create a just slightly visible lump.
  2. Said lump will disappear within 2 to 3 days of digestion.
Thus, if moving up to hoppers or small adults will create "too big" of a lump, stay the course with fuzzies. Also, there's no problem feeding two fuzzies for a while before moving up in size. Of course, the larger the prey size, the more nutrition per equal mass volume. (Fuzzies more nutritionally dense than pinks, hoppers more than fuzzies, etc.)

regards,
jazz
