I would really appreciate some advice on when to get my snake on something bigger than hopper mice. She is 1 and 1/4 inches in diameter at the widest spot. She eats every Sunday morning and alternates between one hopper per week and two per week. The weeks she only eats one, by about Thursday, like right now, she starts yawning a bit more, and to me she seems a bit more exploratory. She just shed yesterday but even with that her every other thursday activity was in full force. I wonder if she is hungry a couple of days early when she eats only one on Sunday.

I really have two questions.

- should I try and feed her early or keep on the every Sunday cycle?

- when I hold up a hopper up to judge it by eye against her diameter, it appears a little smaller than her widest part and it doesn't leave a lump. Should I go to an adult mouse and do once per week?

Thanks in advance!
