Feeding a 4mth coastal

I have a 4 month old coastal that I've just purchased. I've let him settle for 4 days and then fed him a fuzzy mouse - he's previously been eating single pinkies every 7 - 9 days. Anyway....he ate the fuzzy and had it midsection in about 4 minutes and was still showing a feeding response for an hour afterwards then he went to his hide overnight and is still coiled on his perch the day after in the ambush position. Should I try a second fuzzy next feed or should I stick with the single fuzzy or change to a larger size ie I have some weeners that someone gave me.

Thanks.

No that will be enough for her, I would give her another fuzzy in about 5 to 7 days

Didn't realise you said mouse, assumed rat, but yeah agree with Mate, and would even try her on fuzzy rats at that age. My young coastal, about the same age is feeding happily on fuzzy rats every 5 - 7 days.

Thanks for the replies. Rats are a bit scarce around here for some reason but i'll see what I can find.
