Confused!!

Hi all. Just need a little advice on size of food I should be feeding my IJ. He is a little under 4 ft and growing quite well. At the moment he is eating Rat fuzzies every 5 days but im a little concerned that he should be maybe going up to weaners or small rats? Here is a photo of him with a rat fuzzy. Do they look big enough or do I need to move him up a size??

Regards

Adam

Let me first add that is a great looking snake, I don't have a IJ but have a JCP when she is big enough to take 2 of her normal sized pray I try the next size up. I would try two fuzzies then go to weanlins, I don't think you should go to small yet but take a look at the lump left by the new sized rat. Another way I judge this is if I feed her one and she still interested in movement or is activly hunting I will try another and see if she takes it. With the larger sized prey and her current size I would probably go to feeding every 7 days instead of every 5.
