If he’s used to getting one mouse, he’s probably still pretty small/young (hopefully anyway). If that’s the case, then a weekly feeding schedule is perfectly fine. If he’s older, you can go to every 10 days or eventually even every 2 weeks when he’s reached his full size. Slow and steady wins the race IMO.
After he gets acclimated and gets a few meals in him, I would work on trying to switch over to F/T m for safety reasons. Rodents have sharp teeth and even though BPs are good hunters, stuff can go wrong and get bad very quickly. There’s a lot of methods for switching over - hopefully you don’t have an issue, but if you do, there’s tons of people here who can give advice on what to do.
Once you’ve got him well established on F/T, I would try to get him off mice and onto rats as soon as you can. They are more nutritious, and eventually, he’s going to get so big that multiple mice will be needed to fill him up which is a pain. So better to switch to rats now and then be able to up the size of the rats as he grows rather than having to feed multiple prey items. If he’s been fed adult mice, you can probably start with either rat pups or weaned rats (depending on the source and the size).
