Hi, yes they're the same. For some reason I see them usually referred to as mouse fuzzy and rat fluff, but it's exactly the same stage of development and as you've seen the terms are interchangeable.
My favourite online frozen place is A&N Frozen of Suffolk (they sell direct to the public too.)
Weights of mice from them - approximate weights
Mouse pink - 1.8g
Large mouse pink - 3.5g
Fluffs or fuzzies - 5.3g
Jumper mice - 7.5g
Small mice - 9.2g
Medium mice - 20g
Ex-breeder/jumbo - 45g
Unfortunately they're so popular that half the time they're out of stock, although they're very good about advising when stock will be in and reserving it for you.
I also like TSM - but, trouble is, the cheapest way to buy from both these companies is to buy in bulk, which isn't always feasible unless you've got a lot of snakes and a lot of freezer room, or can club together with a friend or friends to share a consignment.

Ok thank you :)
We've only got the 3 but need different foods and none of my friends have snakes :( I've been going to the closest pet shop to me but only just realised how completely and utterly useless they are! Every time I go in for Kane's weaner rats I get home to find something about the size of the mice he was on when I got him, it's a good job it's not the shop I actually got Kane from, they told me the other day that at 24 inches Kane is near full grown!! Can you believe that?! |

Oh no! It sounds like that episode on Snakebyte TV where they joked about people being sold the wrong snakes - the guy who wanted a boa got sold a corn and I think it was George who played the part of a customer who asked for something small and manageable and came out staggering under the weight of a Burm ...
Is that the latest designer pet? The teacup royal python lol? |
