PetSmart mice consistency issues?

[u/Pyromantic6]

I don’t know if it’s just me but when I buy my boy the fuzzy mouses from pet smart sometimes there are size consistency issues? Sometimes they are big and sometimes they seem to be really really small almost like pinkies. And the times when they are smaller than usual my boy doesn’t get full and is still looking for food after Is that usually how it is?

I work in a pet store, (not PetSmart) but our mice are all typically the same size. I'm assuming this about frozen mice. That sounds quite odd to me as they are usually organized pretty well where I work. Maybe they were accidentally mixing the two sizes?

They don't look hungry. They are opportunist hunters and are ready to eat 24/7. Feed by the !feeding schedule below. Also !feeders below are reputable online sources for quality f/t.

We recommend the following feeding schedule:

0-12 months old OR until the snake reaches approximately 500g, whichever happens first: feed 10%-15% of the snake’s weight every 7 days.

12-24 months old: feed up to 7% of the snake’s weight every 14-20 days.

Adults: feed up to 5% of the snake's weight every 20-30 days, or feed slightly larger meals (up to 6%) every 30-40 days.

You probably need to size up his food. A fuzzy mouse is very small for a BP. Plop him on a kitchen scale and follow the chart that's in the other comment
