Fuzzies are the size above pinkies. They have a full body of hair, but haven't opened their eyes yet. The next size are hoppers, they have opened their eyes and started moving about hence the name "hoppers." I generally don't see a switch to hoppers until about 6-8 months old for BRBs, and they'll stay on hoppers until they're 1+ years old, if you don't overfeed. (I have experienced this with my BRBs and had this information verified by my BRBs' breeder as well. People who feed heavier will notice more rapid growth, but it's healthier for them to be slow grown.)
