Feeding f/t?

[Dianne]

I actually did order a lot. Of course.
That is something I tried looking into. Wasn't sure how people even determined when switching to larger mice, people seemed mixed up in past threads I've read. I honestly just assumed they ate the same size for a certain amount of time and then slowly progressed into larger food. But people have fed their snakes two smaller mice to help regulate their meals, but would you recommend that?

I have a couple of my snakes that have refused larger prey than adult mice, but will readily chow down on 2-3 mice per feeding (my 3 yr old albino ball in particular). You could start with one prey item for the first few feedings, then try offering 2 for a few feedings, then up to 3 if they will take it. I prefer a larger prey item per animal, as I feel the larger more developed bone and muscle structure is beneficial and more filling (my opinion only), but I will cater to a preference if the snakes refuses too many meals in a row. That said, I’ve only rarely had babies that wouldn’t switch to larger prey as they got older.
