i have to feed the same way to my female cuz she's scared to eat anything bigger than large mice.

dont worry about over feeding on mice like that. honestly, in the wild, i dont think a ball python would skip an opp. to eat if she is not hungry she wont eat.

my female is gaining weight after a 2 month fast the same way, off of 2-3 mice a week just depends on wether she decides 2 is enough or if she needs 3-4 she'll take'em
