Is it okay to feed more than one mouse?
So this is my first time having a snake... I bought food for her (frozen pinkies) but I had no idea how small they were. I thought they would be small mice, but turns out their extremely tiny! I know this won't fill her up or help her grow because she is 8 months old and a bit thick... so I was thinking maybe I could feed her multiple mice?
So is it fine to feed her multiple mice?

Yes that is perfectly fine. After the first one is down, offer the next one in the same process

Yes you can feed multiple mice I used to feed mine 2 rat pups I used to wait till he swallowed his first and leave it upto 5 mins until he re aligned his jaw then offered him the second one and he always took them both

You certainly can feed more than one prey item to a snake but if your BP is 8 months old those pinkys won't do much for it's growth. BPs can eat larger prey out of the egg. I'd get some larger mice or rats and give away or throw away the pinkys.

Even if you feed multiple it will not make up for an APPROPRIATE size prey which you need to buy.
Pinkies are just a blob of fat, no bones, no hair, no real nutrition for an animal that size.
Get rid of them give them to someone with a neonate milk, king etc and buy the proper food.
