Question Hairless Feeders

Jerkface is currently trying to digest his third post vomit feeding right now and I'm not hopeful. His last 2 post vomit feeds were 3 gram pinkies, and he kept those down fine, so this time I went with a 4 gram dusted peach fuzzy because he is now looking emaciated (concave belly, prominent spinal ridge). He's 2 1/2 days out from his feed and he still has the same belly bulge he had when he first ate the fuzzy so I have serious doubts about this feeding staying down.

Since he seems to be able to digest and keep down the hairless pinkies ok, I was thinking that maybe hairless fuzzies (and eventually on up the hairless rodent size scale) would also be easier for him to digest.

Before I make this switch though I was wondering if snakes get any nutritive value out of furred prey items that would be missing from a diet of fur-less prey items? Does anyone have any experience with snakes on a long fur-less diet?
