Would this be overfeeding?

[fhbob]

My ball is currently still a baby. Sitting at about 140 grams so it has a lot of growing left to do. The supply of mice I have right now are a little small about 15 grams each. Would it be ok 2 feed 2 per week? Once every three or four days, or would that be overfeeding?

Definitely not overfeeding.
10% of it's body weight every 4 days would be just fine for a snake that size.

that would be pushing it if you ask me. 10% of 140 grams is 14 grams 15% is 21 grams. if your feeding 2 15 grams mice thats 30 grams. you could feed a 15 gram mouse every 5 days and that would be fine.

So one says fine the other says pushing it. Can we get a consensus? How about feeding one 15 gram mouse every 4 days, that would not harm the snake would it?

If its hungry, feed it

yeah that would be fine sorry i read it wrong i thought you were saying you were feeding it 2 15 gram mice every 3 days(long day at work).

If its hungry, feed it

I know it's not a common problem with balls, but I think this one would eat until it burst.

that's fine for him. i have a bee that will eat a mouse everyday if i threw it it in there

Sphinx would eat nonstop if I let her,shes a great eater ,and shes the biggest of my 3 (and they were from the same clutch).Perhaps a future breeder

If she is eating that well you should switch her over to rats !! She will grow a little quicker, and feed every 4 days
