That's a really good question. I don't have the definitive answer, but this is what I would think.
The full grown mice to me, would have more nutrients than a small or juvenile rat. I don't see the problem if you're going by weight however, and she's certainly getting her belly full.
When mine was growing, I would give it a few smaller mice instead of a large one because I didn't think he could handle the larger one. I was told the nutrient value wasn't as good feeding that way.
Just a thought. I'll be hanging around to see what the pros have to say.
Good luck!
