Most of my adults are on a 1-2 week schedule I do have one that is on a 3-4 week schedule and she's growing as well as the others, that's just the schedule she chose (she is also eating biger items). If he's eating well and has still had a dramatic weight loss, then I'd take him to the vet just to be on the safe side. But also feeding him more often will help him retain his weight, he may be digesting those mice in a couple of days and then he's living off of his fat reserves until you feed him again. Again all balls are different, they prefer different schedules, different foods and metabolise differently the trick is to find a schedule that your snake is on and go with that. The of course, like a typical ball he'll go off feed next winter and have a completely different schedule next year (LOL). Hope this helps.
