Re: Housing???
There is no way to house fuzzies except with their mother. I hope you aren't planning on feeding these fuzzies to your ball, because he is much too big for them. It would take the snake more energy to digest that mouse than he actually got from the mouse.
I would suggest you take the advice of the experienced keepers around here and leave your snake alone for an entire week, maybe even more. He needs this time to settle in and feel secure, and if he doesn't feel secure, he won't eat. Even if he does eat, if your cage conditions aren't exact and constant 24/7, then he will regurgitate and you will then have to wait another 3 weeks before you can even feed him again. Lay off ALL handling, peeking, snooping, opening the cage, etc. Change the water and clean up feces/urates and that is IT. Leave him alone for at least a week, preferably a little longer, and THEN attempt a feeding with at least a hopper mouse, if not a small adult.

Re: Housing???
Never house nursing mouse babies, in cages! No matter how close you think the bars are, they can probably get out. Once their eyes are open, they'll be all over your house.
I hope you are just breeding/raising them for later feeding; they really are too small for BPs.
