Post brumation feeding

When a female that is planned to be bred is brought out of brumation what is the best thing to feed them? I assume they need several small meals such as hoppers to prep their stomachs for eating larger meals. Once they are on larger meals should I use their normal size mouse, weaned rat or rat pup (for the extra fat), or ASF ( for the extra protein)? I have all of the above listed feeders.
 
I don't brumate anymore but when I did the first meal was a weanling dusted with probiotics. The second meal was the same, and then back to a normal sized mouse after that.
 
Originally I wasn't planning on brumating either but the way our local show schedule falls I needed them to cycle at a slightly different time.

The probiotic is a good idea. Thanks!
