Yes, I'd wait at least 5 days between feedings if she's eating the right size of prey. A few of mine will "hunt" right after eating, but if offered more prey they never actually follow through with eating it.
You don't want to risk a regurge at this point, and the greedy little thing won't starve if she has to wait a few days.
Chances are once she has a few days to relax and digest her meal, she settle down.
I had a young female who acted that way. She was convinced she was starving to death on one adult mouse every 5 days. She snapped at everything, she'd even grab random mouthfuls of shavings after eating if it still smelled like mouse. Finally I broke down and offered her a big ol' weaned rat. About three times the size of the mice she'd been eating. It took her forever to get it down, and then she was still looking for more!However, by the next morning her gluttony had caught up to her and she acted like me after Thanksgiving dinner. Now she is much more reasonable about her food. One adult mouse is just fine for her now, thank you all the same. She just had a little appetite spike and didn't know what to do about it.
