    How big is he? Length? Weight? I would assume he could eat something bigger than a pinkie mouse. But you want to try and feed something about the same girth as him.

    well most of our bp's under a year old eat one or more full sized mice or a fuzzy rat or two most balls can handle prey lager then pinkie mice I would try hoppers for shure just never feed them larger prey item then you feel safe with. Our albino nelsini is on prey items larger then pinky mice and she's not a third of the size of a ball.

    Pinkies are really way to small for ball pythons. I would go to hoppers.

    Definitely move him up to a hopper mouse. A pinky is nothing but an appetizer.


    This is a hopper size:
