Yet another feeding query!

Hello everyone!

Me and my OH currently have 3 corn snakes, one which we have only acquired a week or so ago.

Today was feeding day and seemingly everyone was hungry. Problem is, we only have small mice (unsure what the`re called, around 15/20 grams each, I´d guess) which is a pretty big meal for the two smaller corns (fed every two weeks) but barely left a bulge on the bigger, newer corn we got.

So I offered him another mouse, which he took and ate with no problems.

Was wondering if that was okay? They all ate, I just started wondering if two mice would be fine (they´re slightly smaller than his thickest part).
 
Do you know how much the snake weighs? A lot of us use The Munson Plan when feeding our corns. It's not a rule per say, but a good guideline to start from. If the mice are more towards the 15g range, 2 is probably just fine for a fully grown snake, but if they are 20g you could probably just feed 1 mouse a little more frequently. The mice I get are rarely more then 25g, you just have to adjust the feeding schedule based on whether they are gaining/losing (that's what I do, anyway!). :)
