I'm currently planning on feeding Noodle a hopper mouse twice a week, which will quickly move to a weaned mouse twice a week, and so forth.

    Just to verify, Jumbo mice would be a little bit too big for them at the moment, wouldn't they?

    I'm using the following image as a reference. I can only go off the size of the image but it looks like more than 1.25x the girth of Noodle's widest body to me, though perhaps the image is making the mouse appear bigger.



    Feeding reference I'm currently using: https://www.everythingreptiles.com/b..._Feeding_Chart
    The hopper mice I use are ~10-12g. Noodle has eaten today and it has not stretched the damaged skin/scales (or any other for that matter) in any way.

    Let me know if you have any critiques of this chart!
