Peach fuzzies are almost the same as pinkys I think, not much there with regards to bone development.

Pinky is the first, peach fuzzy is the second, you probably want to feed the third. You can see the difference in fur development (not that fur matters much) to tell which is which. They are a bit larger, if he can't eat it, he will just rip it up with his claws till he can.

Not really, no.

Feed him at the very least hoppers, but preferably larger. Its hard to tell scale from that video, but I would guess that monitor can swallow an adult mouse without problem. You can always just cut an adult mouse in half if you are worried about it being too big.

is that not what they do with dead carcusses? If it was too large they will just leave it or choke on it?
