congrats.
Yes, what you are feeding is enough. Although, I, would put them on rat pups, and the female you could feed every 5 days(some feed more then that, but i wouldnt over do it) .
The male dont need to eat as much, once every seven days is fine. Got a pic of them?
Take it easy.

Ball Pythong HATCH out large enough to take adult mice. So if after a year they are still eating that, I would say you'd need to either up the frequency of feeding, or up the food size (preferrable).
