It is very hard for me to get frozen rats. It is illegal to keep live rats in Alberta. Is it better to feed 2 live or F/T adult mice at the same feeding or feed every 2-3 days?

My neighbour bought a huge male normal BP last summer. Alice is 5 feet long and a good body size. I think he usually eats 2 adult mice every feeding.

I know that Monty has not grown much, he is still quite small for his age. I haven't worried too much in the last 1.5 years about how often he eats. Sometimes he will eat once a week for 5 months, then he will refuse to eat twice. The second time he refuses, I wait for 2 weeks before trying again and I haven't done an assisted feed for 1.5 years. He is small for his age but I don't think he looks too skinny. I'm not interested in breeding so I'm not concerned with how fast he reaches a certain weight/size. I just want him to be healthy and his usual easy going way.
