Can you feed too much?

I have 2 corns about 5 mos old. I feed ftp's every Thursday. On occasion, I'll give them 2 each if they are small. This past Thursday one of them ate both of them at the blink of an eye and my snow only ate one and was not interested in the second one. So, I offered it to my other one and he ate that one too. He hasn't regurgitated or anything, seems great! So, is it possible to feed them too much or is this a sign I need to go up to the next size?
 
I would say that if it can handle 3 of one size than you can probably go up to the next size pretty safely. Just keep in mind not to give anything more than about 1.5 times the widest part of the body.
Feeding too much can cause a build up of fat deposits, and I would suppose if fed way too much regurges. But once a week is a fine feeding schedule, especially if you are providing one appropriate sized prey item every week. Good luck!
