    feeding multiple mice
    hi guys! so every pet store in the area doesn’t have any large mice left. so i opted to feed her 3 small instead. to my surprise, she ate every single one and then came the worry that this might be bad for her. anyone have any insight on this?

    Don't lose any sleep over it...I'd have done the same thing, & snakes in the wild will too. ;) You just want the sum total of the smaller ones to be approximately the size
    you'd have fed with only one prey item...just common sense. And actually, some snakes digest multiple small items better than one large item, but the reason we go with
    adult size rodents is that there is more bone mass & hence, more mineral nutrients, & young rodents are usually a higher fat content as well, while adults are higher protein (muscle).

    It's not ideal but it can be done. Unfortunately I have a few "mousers" and they only eat live... :(

    So, they get offered 3-4 mice a week.
