I bought 4 mice thinking it would eat one and I'd freeze the others so as to train it to eat frozen thawed. Well, it ate 3 in one sitting, and the last one was really mangled so I threw it out. Hey, I'm happy...

Check out his gargantuan appetite:

LOL At least she is eating for you.
I know you are having trouble finding different sizes but if you can I would step the size up a bit.

Unfortunately the next size is like a racoon. But when it gets to that size, does it pose a problem of switching from no fur to fur? It would be the same species mouse.

None of my snakes of any species ever had a problem switching from pinks to furred. Some would initially test the prey before swallowing it sort of like the fur confused them but still ate it anyway.
