that sized meal is fine for feeding every 2-3weeks but not weekly, i think this guy is just stiring us up, either that or he shouldnt be keeping reptiles

the size is fine, could probably go bigger. i would give em more time to digest the bigger feed though.

Why not offer smaller prey but more frequently eg, bit under 1/2 size of that prey item but offer 1 every 4 days. That way you are getting the same food quantity into the animal with less stress on the animal's system. There are ways to speed up growth rates via feeding without putting added stress on the animals organs.
Why are you wasting your money giving your rodents growth hormones ??? You should be taking them yourself  Seriously, What do you plan on achieving by giving your rodents GH? You know snakes only have a small liver.
