    Feeding 2 mice?

    Is it possible to feed more than one mouse at a time if they are small?

    I bought 50 small when I first got my ball and he is growing and could eat a larger mouse. I don’t want the mice I have left to go to waste.

    Yep! Just wait for the first one to go down the hatch. I usually wait for them to start moving around a bit and yawn a time or two, just to make sure they are prepared to strike at a second.

    Yes, that is fine and very common. Optimally you want one item that is big enough, but failing that, two smaller ones is fine. Three may be pushing it. From what I can tell, the more items fed at one feeding, the chances for regurgitation go up. But don't let that shy you away from two items.
