Is it okayto feed a young rainbow two pinky mice? If so is it one right after the other or should you wait for an hour or two?

I've always felt that two small meals are better then one large. You could offer them at the same time or wait a while. The only draw back being that after a while and depending on the snake they may just want to sit and digest what they ate and might not want to eat again. I have one youngster that I think would eat till she exploded lol she will eat any thing at any time. Last night I fed her and her partner she was in shed but it doesn't slow her down. I fed her and watched her take the small mouse, when I came back an hour later to put them back in their tank she was half way out of her shed and looking for more food. Should name her Miss Piggy.
