I've always fed mine every 7 days, even when on pinks. Fitted my schedule better. But in you case ideal to change to 7 days for two pinks. I only fed double pinks for two week as i only had a few pinks left. Once i saw she could handle two pinks i moved up to fuzzies.

I fed Morse every 5 days when on a single pink, moved him up to double pinks and changed to every 7 days - if I followed the weight guide I have seen on here he should still be on single pinks, but he copes well and only has a small bump visible after feeding. As every one says they are all different and you get a feel for what is 'right' for your snake.
