I don't think that hoppers have more nutritional value than fuzzies. I believe they only have more mass and more calcium due to larger bones. I may be wrong, but I remember a post about this on Fauna Classifieds.

allow her to eat a fuzzy, and while it is going down place the head of larger F/T food item in her mouth, she should keep right on swallowing without missing a beat.
