    Can you give us a picture of the bulge you're talking about?
    They can certainly get big enough to eat fuzzies as adults, but I'd never feed mine anything bigger than a pinkie just because of the hair.

    are you sure it is fuzzy head you see bulging under the throat? agree with DV pcs would be helpful, but I would just leave him be, DO NOT stress him out, open his mouth, etc, nothing you can do now, but to leave him alone to digest. MAKE SURE the conditions are good, he seems awfully dry in the pics and watch him if he starts bloating, or anything else is happening. do not feed him now for a a few days and offer nightcrawlers from now on with occasional mouse ( no more then one a month)

    Wasn't there someone awhile back that had gotten a pac on discount from a petstore because it had a bone in the throat that was deviated and causing the throat to bulge in an odd way? Could something like that be caused by eating a food item too large?

    That was me. I went to get it and saw the bone...ended up not getting it. Didn't look like this. That just looks like loose skin to me.

    that's not the mouse. that looks exactly like when granny had the her fluid build ups in her legs and throat. that fuzzy was not too big. I wouldn't recommend feeding it fuzzies that size. but it wasnt too big. that is a fluid deposit I am certain of that. most likely from a bacterial infection.
