He eats every friday night and he eats a full size mouse we tried small rats but he wont even attempt them but we still try but after watching him with no luck for about a hour we take the rat out and give him the mouse

Either get him switched over to rats (weaned for now, then smalls) or start giving him two mice per feeding.

When we got him he was very thin we have only had him since dec 22 since then he has grown about 4 in and doubled his size I was told when I had gotten him that they couldent get him to eat but he ate for us first time no problem and still does other then the rats and the rat we have is the same size as the full size mice we have been giving him

If it works for you and him then no sense in changing I suppose...and he looks pretty good in that last pic you posted. Good job on getting him in shape. :gj:
