to plump them up before I feed them to my snakes. The mice I bought at the petshop was abit skinny.

You certainly can feed your mice before feeding them to your snake. Mice enjoy seeds, such as budgie mix, mice lab blocks made for growing/breeding mice works great too. OR you can just feed a high fat/protein dog food that doesn't contain any dyes, and add the seed mix for variety. It will take a few days or a couple weeks to get the mice nice and plump, depending on how young/skinny they currently are. Keep in mind you don't just want a fat mouse, it will only make your snakes fat...pretty much the difference of us eating a nice healthy meal or a greasy fast food burger.
