So far I've not fed him as he only came home on Monday. I was given two mice that are probably medium. I need to weigh them. The previous owner said he was on 2 a week. Which I thought seemed a bit much.
Wow, 2 a week sounds like a lot to me. My adolescent (still growing quite fast) snakes get 1 large every 7-14 days and my adult female is currently getting 2 large every 7-14 days (she laid 26 eggs this year and still needs building up!) but she would normally get 1 large every 2 weeks (sometimes every 3 weeks if she's getting a bit squidgy).
I'd agree with Moppet. If they are medium mice then 2 a week is too much. Even if they're small mice it's unnecessary. When I got Asher he was being fed 4 medium mice a week ! Obviously that changed . Personally I'd do a few weekly feeds of mediums to get him eating and then see whether he's ready to move up to large mice and a longer gap between feeds.
All 3 of mine are fed 1 extra large mouse every 2-3 weeks and are all living well on that. They all look well and are always active apart from when in blue.
So Dave was fed tonight. He was drop fed before and I think in the viv. I put him in a tub. Tried to entice him to strike, but he wasn't having any of it. Left him and after a bit sniffing about he took the mouse. Now he's mooching round his viv looking for the next course. Lol.
