 QUESTION

It would be more beneficial if you switched to rats. The mice are too small, hence having to feed several at a time. At the length you posted the burm could easily be eating small rats depending on its girth. That way you would only have to feed one rat versus the three mice.

Exactly. The feeding response sounds healthy and is aplaudable. This just meens that she needs some larger prey.
