FEEDING FOR BABIES

[retr0balla15]

My ball is around 15 weeks and taking down mice easily. I was wondering if i should start feeding 2 mice.

It is better to feed one prey item of the correct size (same width as your snake's body at the widest point)

Some snakes won't take a second prey item.

o ok thanx cause my friend started feeding his 15 week two mice and hes doin well

Two mice is fine if your snake will eat them both. If not, try 2 smaller sized mice or large hoppers.

I typically start my hatchlings on multiple rodents per feeding after about 4 weeks. I prefer to feed single or multiple smaller sized prey items to all of my ball pythons (no matter what age) as opposed to a single large item. I feel this helps them to become more consistent feeders.

Hope this helps.
