    I'd stick with hoppers until he's a little bigger.

    Being that you want to see his weight increase, you can go up to 15% of his body weight, so you could feed up to a 10 gram mouse... i guess that is a hopper, you can feed him every 5 days if you havent already......

    66 grams is pretty small, you don't want to rush him, he'll put on weight soon enough. :)

    If you want something bigger than a hopper, why not try an adult mouse? Females tend to be a little smaller. Are you feeding live?

    Yeah. Big rat pinkys or just "getting fur" fuzzies. I got my 70g hatch in july and switched it from live mouse hoppers to live rat pinkys immediately. Now shes on FT pinky/fuzzies and weighs 170g. Pre-scent and feed in the enclosure and you'll be fine.
