Too much to feed?

I was feeding my little guys one small pink per week. They are about 15-18 inches long.

However, I have bumped them up to one pinky twice per week (Wed and Sunday)

I have done this for two weeks now with no ill effects. Is this OK or should I feed 2 pinks at one feeding once per week (say Sundays?)

Thanks all!

Either way should work OK. I'd bump them up to large pinks or fuzzies soon. I think that the nutritional value of mice increases with size so they'd grow better on larger mice (IMHO). I feed once a week. Just watch for regurges if you stick with twice a week, lactic acid can build up causing problems.

i would feed 2 every 5 days till you start with fuzzies, then feed every 5 days with fuzzies and move up a day every time you move up a mouse after that till your feeding a medium-large mouse every 7 days.
