He's Getting Big

Well right now my Ball Python is 2ft 9in and eats 2 adult mice once a week at his feeding. He has a girth of about 2in. What would be the next rat or mouse to eat at his length or should i wait till he gets bigger to give him the next biggest thing.

Try rat pups or rat fuzzies (I cant remember which one is smaller, or if they're the same thing). Unweaned but fuzzy rats are about the same mass as two adult mice. I personally prefer getting them on rats as soon as possible.
