I personally wouldn't feed more often but I do feed 2 per feeding. My calico has eaten 3 once. After the second, she was obviously still hungry so I tossed in one more and she snatched it up without hesitation. I only feed live and I do worry about the prey harming my snakes so I feed slightly smaller than recommended but I double em up so they get the right over all prey weight but it's easier for them to feed
