    Unless your hatching out 80-100g babies adult mice are Way to big. When average hatch ling is 55-65g and adult mouse is 20g. Ive fed fuzzy rats to larger hatchlings in the 70g range and that left a huge lump. Couldn't imagine that size rat which is same as adult mice in a baby smaller

    Heres a 120g ball eating a rat fuzzy about 20g in size. Now shrink the snake in half and feed same rat.

    Not being rude, but OP wants to get his snake up to size, but suggesting large meals will prolong that by fastings, and or regurges.
