Feeder Quantity/Size Question

[loud]

Newbie question time!

I currently have a 6 month old JCP that I got last Saturday, being fed f/t mice fuzzies for now. He ate at the breeder's on Jan 4th (I think), and then with me on the 20th. I think the general consensus is to feed young snakes every 5-7 days, so I went ahead and fed him today again. That was about an hour ago, and he remained very active inside his enclosure for at least 30 minutes. This was rather surprising for me because the first time I fed him, on Monday, he went immediately into his warm hide after feeding.

I did a search on the forums and am reading some mixed opinions. Some say that's just how some snakes are, others say to increase feed. So my question is - what should I do? Should I give him another mouse if he seems to want more? I'll definitely move up to rats eventually, but it's only his first week with me so I'd like to not spring too many surprises on him. The mice fuzzies are indeed about 1 1/2 times his width, which I hear is how you determine whether or not the feeder is large enough for your snake. Not sure how accurate or not that is, but thought I'd add that in there.

He IS settled on top of the fake vegetation now, but just seeing how active he was and just how interested he seemed to be in tracking my movements... wondering if I should be making any changes to his feeding quantity/feeder size/feeding frequency.

Thanks for bearing with me!
