    Congrats! :)

    It depends on how big they are, but fuzzy mice are probably too small for them. The only ball pythons I have fed mice were babies and under 100g. I fed them hopper mice every 3-4 days until they reached 100g then they went to rat pups once a week.

    You want to try to feed something about as wide as they are.

    10-15% of the body weight is what i feed. Whether its 2 smaller rodents or 1 big one. Doesnt really matter...

    Have you weighed your snakes? That will give you a good starting point for determining what prey size they need.
