Okay so i bought three '07 hatchlings in late july of this year. 2 of them have been growing very steadily and are on large fuzzies.

My blizzard tho, the third of the bunch is having troubles. He was always fine until I tried a fuzzy?
He regurged his first fuzzy, so I waited 2 weeks then went back to pink's for a month. Everything was fine again then last weekend I tried a slightly larger Pink with some hair.

He puked it up again. Not entirely either just a big gross stinky hairball?

Could this blizzard just not be able to digest hair? He is hardly any bigger then he was 3 months ago? What should I do? Stay on Pinks for the rest of his life???

stay on pinks for a couple more months and try the bigger pinks again and if it holds them down go with fuzzies in a little while after that. some snakes just cant handle the bigger food items the same as others. give it time its not the hair.

also you could try giving it two smaller items at a time sometimes its the girth that gives them problems but i would hold off on that until it has some more meals in him with out regurging.

you can also double or triple up on the small pinks instead of offering a fuzzy for now.

I have a SD Gopher that wont take large meals...

When you try a fuzzy next time, slit the skin on the mouse's back.
The skin is thicker as the mouse grows and often young snakes' stomach acids don't break down the skin and hair fast enough for digestion to begin.
With a break in the skin, the acids can begin working on the meal right away.
