If that's all you have at this time, you can feed them off before sizing up. You want the prey to be roughly equal to (& not wider) than her un-fed mid-body. If you are feeding small pinks, you could feed 2 every 5-6 days, or (later) 3 once every 7 days. Just go by how she looks & digests...don't upsize too quickly but yeah, she's needing more food.
Okay, glad I asked. The pinks in the bag of 50 I bought are mostly a slight bit larger than Sheila's midsection. They leave no noticeable bulge after she gets them down though. On the night she eats, she does tend to go re-investigating the spot she ate. I'm interpreting that as "I'm still hungry" behavior. If she was full, then I'd expect her to go hide for a couple days. I'll bump her up to 2 pinks on Sunday and see how she does.
