I'm going to offer Betsy 2 mice today and i've never done this before.
What I want to know is how long should I wait before offering her the second mouse?
Should I offer it to her as soon as she has finished the first mouse or should I wait 20 minutes or what?

It's always better to offer a single food item of the correct size, but as this is not always possible cause on occasion I've offered two at once, I would say to offer the second as soon as she has swallowed the first if you leave it twenty minutes she will have already started the digesting process and my not like being disturbed, even regurgeataiting the first, hope that helps but I'm sure if it's wrong someone will set you straight...
