first time feeding two mice--suggestions?

[snakeyes]

ok, so the last time i fed my BP he had his usual awesome feeding response and did his thing. however, after feeding, instead of going back to his hide to sleeping it off as he usually does, he started going around his whole tank...and sniffing here and there, every where the rat had been... which leads me to believe that he was still hungry. also, the mice i've been feeding him have been smaller in diameter than his girth so they're a little small. maybe that's why he's staying hungry...

he's about 37 inches long...his husbandry is right on the money.

so today i'm going to try feeding him two mice.
how should i go about this... should i feed him one, and then wait until he swallows the first one and then feed him the other one?
has anyone else done this before? suggestions would be nice.

thanks!

SUCCESS!!!!
He totally nailed the first one. He ate it. I waited until he finished swallowing. i waited a little too long though and by the time i checked where he was he was back in his hide. but the second i opened the top to his enclosure he came out...just as i thought, i knew he was staying hungry after the first mouse.
actually it was more like he burst out! LOL! so i dropped the mouse in.
next thing i know i look and he's got the second rat constricted right by the entrance to his cold hide. i guess the mouse tried to hide and he wasn't fast enough. easily the proudest moment of my life.
i feel sorry for the mice, but hey, my snake has to eat.
thanks for the advice guys.

Good luck with your feeding D.
