Hi, someone on here posted a feeding size chart, And that's what I've been going by for feeding my ball python. The chart says to feed adult mice to ball pythons between 200-350 grams. My ball python is around 220 grams, but adult mice are too small for him. They are much smaller than his girth and he eats them in less than a minute. My question is, what should I feed him if adult mice are too small? Should I feed him two adult mice at once, or should he eat rats now? The chart says 350-500 gram ball pythons should eat weaned rats. Should I try that or will it be too big for him since he's only 220 grams? He's light weight, but he has a fat girth so adult mice don't even make a slight lump in his belly.
I know the general rule is to feed the size of their girth or to feed 10-15% of their body weight. But, I don't know what size feeder wpuld match his body and weight.
