Ready for Fuzzies?

so, my baby (well i guess she isnt such a baby anymore, she's just shy of a year old by a month or so) has been eating 1 pinky every 5 days or so and im starting to think i should move her up to a fuzzie..? she doesnt seem that big but reading other stories, people are moving their corns up to fuzzies at only 6 months! im due to order more mice soon so, any suggestions?
 
how much does she weigh? I'd go more by weight than age...as snakes can vary greatly in size at the same age.
 
Does the one pinky still give her a nice-sized lump when she eats? Does the lump last for a while? Usually, people move their snakes to 2 pinks for a while before moving on to fuzzies. I have to agree with ZoologyGirl, go by weight, not age.

Come to think of it, do a search for the Munson Plan. It's not an exact science, but it gives a good estimate as to what your snake should be on at what weight...
 
IF you haven't noticed much of a lump any more. I would feed her double pinkies to use up the rest of your supply. I would at least move her up to peach fuzzies wich you can get at rodent pro.
 
Thanks for posting this! Its exactly what I was looking for.
My 6 mo. corn will readily take 2-3 pinkies at each feeding and I was wondering the same thing.
