| when you move up to larger mice do you still feed them once a week or do you wait a longer gap inbetween feeds? |

| I would feed weekly until they reach an adult size, once they aren't growing so much they either require a little less food weekly or less frequent feeds. The choice is yours though, I will probably extend the gap between feeds to either 10 or 14 days and give them longer to roam etc between digesting sessions. |

It depends on the age/size of the snake. If you're feeding weekly and are moving from say pinkies to fuzzies or fuzzies to small mice, etc, then I'd keep it at weekly.
Once the snake reaches adulthood or is overweight they don't need as much food so this is when most people move to feeding every 10 days or fortnightly. |

i'm currently feeding her on fuzzies, 1 weekly but moving her up to 2 weekly from next week preparing her to move up to whatever mouse size is next?
she's only about 8 months so i think i'll still feed her weekly until she's fully grown and then feed her every 10 days! |
