feeding more than 1 mouse at a time

[TheHabit]

He's been eating adult live mice, but only 1 at a time. I'm going to try 2 this week but how should I go about this? Was going to prescent normally, give him one, wait till its down then offer the second.

That's how to do it, but I would consider offering one larger rat. Pick a rat the same size as the largest part of the snakes body.

I think a rat would be too big for my snake. I work at a pet store and thats where I go for my feeders. The feeder rats we have are HUGE. We have some 'fancy european' rats that are quite smaller for $2.99 (theyre the pet type) but even they look too big.

I have some that won't eat rats, but one mouse isn't big enough... so yes, I feed one, let him get it down and give him a few minutes, and when he stops moving around and is comfy again, I slip the next one in and they usually have no problem going for seconds

cool, thanks.
