Shall i start to feed more mice? :/

Can you get rats? A big rat fuzzy or small pup would be a good meal for her. You don't necassarily need to see a lump, so a slight one is good. The lump is used more with snakes that have a consistent thickness throughout their bodies I believe.

thanks for all the info, i will try to offer her a second mouse in the next feeding day if she doesn't take it i will ofer her a rat fuzz or pup.

i fed her 2 mice and she ate them both , 3days passed and today she's out in hunting mode again. The 2 mice gave her a visible lump, i dunno why she's seeking so much food latly , until these 3weeks she used to come out in hunting mode only 1-2 days before feeding day :| should i increase the food more? maybe to Rats? and what size.

I feed all hatchlings every 3 days till they get to 400 grams, then are moved to 5 days.

I do the same adjusting size depending on weight. I would go with 1 small rat pup (20g or so) every 3 days and see how that goes.

is a rat pup a rat pinkie? also wouldn't that be too small for a snake that eats 2 adult mice at the same time?

A rat pup is a little bit bigger then a rat pink.

I would suggest getting a scale and saving yourself the hassle of guess work. Kitchen scales should be fairly easy to find at a low price.

I would just keep feeding 2 mice every 7 days. Eventually she will catch up to the amount of food she is taking in and settle down (hopefully).

I agree with Kaorte. Stay with 2 mice for now. It seems like her body would have preferred to go up to 2 mice a few feedings ago, so it may take a few more feedings before she feels "caught up".

im gonna buy 4small rats tomorrow, but they have just opened their eyes tough he's just gonna show them to me so if they are too big i won't take them

sry we posted at the same time , well now im confused. i will check with him if he has adult mice then, gotta skip a feeding since she's gonna shed, ihope her eye problem gets solved with the shedding. well i prefer the mouse since they eat by thenselvs and won't grow too for now.

i just bought a kitchen scale (digital) and she got up to 232Grams from last i weight her she was 150grams (about a month - month and a half.)
