    Maybe buy a couple of hoppers and feed him both.
    If you think he can take an adult though go for it.

    You'll be fine with an adult mouse.
    My female weighs these same and she's been pounding large mice since she weighed like 150grams.

    x2 id just go with the adult mice. If youre worried about over feeding you could feed every 10 days if you want. Or if you have him on a 5 day schedule move him up to a 7 day schedule. Either way he should be fine
