A few weeks ago I switched my ~6month old jungle carpet from fuzzy to hopper mice. He's grown quite a bit and the fuzzies barely leave a lump in him anymore so figured it was time to go up. Never had any eating issues and he happily ate the first 2 spaced a week apart but the past few days he has been refusing to eat, and I'm just wondering if they could still be too big for him? He's still striking and then just staying wrapped onto it for maybe half an hour before seeming to give up and going to hang out somewhere else. Obviously this isn't that urgent since he still ate last week and is otherwise behaving totally normal but do you think it would be worth going back to fuzzies for a bit longer? Could he maybe just need a few more days to digest a bigger meal?
