    if it'll eat two then I don't see why not. It's hard to really over feed a snake that young. Offer the second mouse after the first one has made its trip all the way down to the stomach.

    If it were me and you have feeders that are a bit under the recommended weight I would feed two one week and one the next.

    If this is a one time thing two will not hurt but I wouldn't make it a habit to over feed. There are alot of fat bloods out there. Just because your bloods will eat does not mean it is hungry or needs to eat, they are just pigs.

    personally I would start on rats and no need to ever change apart from proportion of size suitable for the blood. Why even bother starting on mice only to switch over anyway. That being said you should have no real trouble switching them to rats, they are in general avid feeders if their environment is suitable.
