Fuzzies, also known as juvenile mice, are commonly used as food for various carnivorous pets, particularly reptiles such as snakes and monitors. These small rodents are valued for their high nutritional content, providing essential protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals necessary for the growth and well-being of the animals that consume them. Fuzzies are named for their soft fur, which has not yet fully developed into the thicker coat of adult mice. This makes them an ideal prey choice for smaller or younger pets, as their delicate bones and fur are easily digestible. When feeding fuzzies to pets, it's crucial to ensure that the size of the prey is appropriate for the animal's size and feeding habits to prevent choking or digestive issues.
