Fuzzy mice seems quite small. Does it leave a visible lump in your boa when he eats a fuzzy mouse? If there really is no noticable difference, can you try rat fuzzies? See how the boa looks after consuming one of these. If still too small, try a rat pup/crawler. If you must do only mice...try a mouse hopper.

One item approximately the same girth your boa is mid-body. Good luck!
