This may be a question mainly for BP owners who have a BP that only eats mice so I would like to get your take on the best way to approach this.

If you look at the Ball Python Feeding Guidelines Chart that gets passed around on this site, it references feeding multiple mice (2-3) once the BP reaches 500grams (I know this is very subjective but using it as a point of reference).

So here's my questions (for reference my BP is approx 400 grams eating F/T Adult mice):

1. How soon after feeding the 1st mouse can I offer the 2nd? I feed in the dark as to not disturb so I never stick around to watch him eat and the majority of times he pulls the prey in his hide so I have no idea when he fully consumes the mouse.

2. Is it harmful for a BPs digestive process to offer the 2nd mouse the next day/night? I ask because at least I know the 1st mouse was eaten.

3. How fast can one prepare and get the 2nd mouse ready? I'm used to thawing overnight, soaking in hot water 15-20 minutes and heating w/ a hairdryer. I'd rather not do this for the 2nd mouse in case he doesn't take the 1st one.

** This past feeding he refused a rat pup for the millionth time so I ended up offering a small mouse that I used for scenting purposes which he took immediately. The next day, I could tell he was still hungry and didn't know if I could feed him again due to potential digestion issues. **
