| just need some quick advice, just fed my snake, she's still on small mice not really leaving much of a lump.. looked like she was still hungry as she was going towards my finger after she'd eaten the mouse, going to try moving up to medium but in the mean time should i give her another mouse? |

| Yep just go up as long as it doesn't exceed 1.5 times the thickness of the snake, and then look away as its always terrifying watching them eat a new sized meal for the first time. |

| If you have quite a lot of small ones to use up then you could give her two. Some people like to feed two at a time of the current meal size prior to moving up to make sure their snake can digest a bigger amount ok. It's really up to you.... |
