for hatchlings I would feed once every 4-5 days. Adults to sub adults I would feed once every 7-10 days.

Size of the mice depends on the size of the snake. A snake can eat a mouse around 1.5 the size of it's head. That is something I would say at the max. The number of mice offered also depends on the size of the snake. Making one or two lumps is good enough.
