I ended up only feeding one today and while he normally takes 24hrs to lay in his favorite hide, he was out and about his cage like normal tonight so I'm definitely leaning towards the 2 mice next time...?

Re: Feeding question
Feeding 2 mice at a time isn't a problem, as soon as 1 is down feed the second right after it.

I think I may have the same problem, Im scared the mouse is to big, but if you see my other post called feeding question (the same as yours) it might help someone understand my problem. XD

I used to be sacred about size of food, especially since I started out with Corns... but noticed my daughters corn would take down two pinkies every time, so I upped it to a fuzzy... It looked like a dog trying to eat a soccer ball... well it did and was happier for it. Obviously don't want to go huge, but increase the size by small margins until it is the "right" size.

I got wingling mice, which are like hoppers, which are about the size of his thicest girth, but maybe slightly bigger, but not a lot. I know he could down it, im starting with the smallest mouse out of the ten I got

...How tiny is this BP? Hatchling BP can handle adult mice and rat pups - for their first meal.
If you don't already have a scale, get one. Weigh your snake. Weigh the prey you're giving him. Prey should be about 10-15% of his weight.

Thanks, I'll be getting a scale this week. He gulped down 2 adult mice today only 4days after his last meal so we will see how much he weighs in a few days.
