A big meal for him
I went to the pet store today and they havnt had the size mice i needed in like 2 weeks...last week i had to use to small hoppers, so this week i just decided i think he can handle a jumbo mouse. He usually takes big adults so i was a little worried but he took it down easy! Backward too!! Left him PLUMPer then ive ever seen him before..its good for him  I still dont get how they get it down their tiny necks, while their bodies can easily handle it, their necks are a quarter of the size...just incredible
Heres a pic..and this balls turning out to be very yellow, will this fade away?
Im just worried about the size of the crap im gonna get out of him!!

You could easily be feeding him much larger, there's no noticeable bulge in him at all. Not sure of his size, as there's no comparison for me to estimate, but mice are too small for him. IAlso, I'm sure you've heard it a million times, but I'll make it a million and one; you should get him on rats A.S.A.P.

Hey, I don’t know if it'll help but you could try scenting a rat with a mouse?? Or feed a small mouse followed bye a rat once its feeding response is up. It will be worth it in the end trust me; mine can down 6 adult mice in a shot with no problem, lol that would get costly.

Bartman, I don't know if we're looking at the same pic, but there is NO pronounced bulge on that ball. Also, instead on tying a rat to a mouse, just try offering him a rat as soon as he's done eating the mouse, if he has a good feeding response, he'll nail it. Mice can get tre expenseeevo when you're ball is packing away 12 per meal.
