    I'm no expert or anything but I have to say that 4 mice in 24hrs is WAY to much. You should be feeding 1 right sized mouse/rat every 5 to 7 days.

    What is the weight of these mice? Your prey size should be about 60 grams.

    yeah with mice that size I would for sure say that is too much. you might just have a very active lil girl. I'm guessing you are saying she "looks" hungry because she is moving around?

    Yeah you might have a feeding machine and I'm sure an expert will chime in here soon and explain it but power feeding is really not good for your snake.

    It could result in an off feed then she won't eat for months.

    I would feed two adult mice every 7 days. An adult mouse in my eyes is about 30grams.
