I got Lucy Tuesday and Thursday was feed day. I wasn't expecting her to eat but WHAM she nailed it!! LOL Then was looking for more...so was Chaos. SO here's my question should i up them to 2 fuzzy mice or go to the next size up?

Congrats!

It depends on how big they are, but fuzzy mice are probably too small for them. The only ball pythons I have fed mice were babies and under 100g. I fed them hopper mice every 3-4 days until they reached 100g then they went to rat pups once a week.

You want to try to feed something about as wide as they are.

10-15% of the body weight is what i feed. Whether its 2 smaller rodents or 1 big one. Doesnt really matter...

Have you weighed your snakes? That will give you a good starting point for determining what prey size they need.
