At that age, you should feed him every 4-5 days.

My corn is 11 months and I feed her every 5-6 days, two small mice.

hello
I read in a post of yours when you first got casper that he was 5 months old then ????and you were feeding two pinkies(not sure what age he is now) as you have put 3 mths . There is a plan posted on here (munson plan by one of the mediators) that lots of people follow, and it seems to be very good advice i have copied and pasted it again for you ! good luck
The Munson Plan (Sample Feeding Chart)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-When they're on single pinks (2-3g), I feed every 4-5 days. (Snake = 4-15g)
-Double pinks (3g x 2) every 4-5 days. (Snake = 16-23g)
-Small fuzzies (5-7g) every 5-6 days. (Snake = 24-30g)
-Regular fuzzies (7-9g) every 5-6 days (Snake = 30-50g)
-Hoppers (9-12g) every 5-6 days (Snake = 51-90g)
-Weaned (14-20g) every 7 days (Snake = 91-170g)
-Adult (24-30g) every 7-x days (Snake = 170+)
-Jumbo Adults (40-50g) every 7-x days (Snake = 400g+)
Note: Adult females are fed more frequently than adult males (especially following brumation). Females are fed every 6-8 days; males are fed every 7-14 days.
This is by no means scientific, and not all corns will cooperate 100% with the schedule. The weight ranges I gave for the prey and snakes are approximate. I'm very consistent in my feedings. Some people feed every Saturday, for example. If they get a refusal, the snake has to wait for the next Saturday to get another shot. I don't do this. If a snake refuses today, he'll get another shot in two days.
