If the snake can't or won't eat the food.

Snakes have the natural capability of unhinging their jaws in order to eat large prey, so unless the snake refuses to eat the food, then they'll probably be fine.

How many times do you feed snakes in a day?

depends what sort of snake. For example, a big snake could be fed a HUGE rat. Rat;s and mice are the natural food for every single snake. Rabbits are far too big and are a threat to snake's lives, as a rabbit could easily kill a snake. But it takes snakes about 5 days to digest food, so the maximum intervel should be 2 weeks. Remember, do not feed your snake rabbits, birds, especially not live ones.
