we are going to try to feed him a small mouse...they are about 11 grams and we were told that it would be fine to feed him that. should we wait untill after he sheds?

Offer away! Some take it and some don't.

Can you remind me how much your snake weighs? Asking because it is good to feed them about 10-15% of their body weight (weight on empty) until the total prey weight is anywhere between 80-100g or so....

it was a fuzzy mouse, sry forgot to mention that

A fuzzy mouse is not a meal for a baby - that's an appetizer.

Try a small hopper mouse (eyes and ears just opened and hops around like popcorn). The folds sound like no weight on him.

I believe they said 55 grams. I'd still go with a hopper (a size bigger than a fuzzy, but smaller than a small adult)

Agreed

the frozen mice we got were fuzzies and then the next size up was "small mouse" would that be ok or is that too big? i weighed one and it was 11 grams (the dmall mouse) and i believe that it was the biggest one we have.
