    how would i feed my bp multiple mice?

    If, suppose, I were only able to find fuzzies and Jackson was eating hoppers, how would I give him the second one? I mean, do I just offer it right after he finishes the first? Or do I wait a couple hours? I am trying to switch him from live to f/t.

    I offer mine the first mouse, and after he has swallowed it completely and settles back into hunting mode or yawns I toss in the next one.

    My guy is a pig and I double feed him, so what I do is give him the first meal, let him finish it up, then wait for him to yawn/reset jaw, then give him the second one. It usually only takes a few minutes after he is finished the first one to be ready for the second.

    Something that im dealig with at the moment due to having to feed 7-8 mice a week to one snake.. I feed her in sets of 2.. As soon as she strikes the first prey on the tongs. An wraps. I place a 2nd one against her in the tightest spot i can quickly see... Come back a while later and repeat.. And i also double day feed her. Picked up this tip from watchin snakebytes and thats what i noticed they do at bhb. So i thought id try it. Seems to work well.

    I do the same thing as several of the previous posters... just wait for the yawn and the snake to start moving again and then drop the next one in.
