The temps seem high to me as well. Temp with gun on the glass under the substrate. My experience is 90 on the hot side.
The 28 qt tub is big for a small guy. If you can't bring that smaller, clutter it up some (or a lot).
With all of that being said, all of the activity you describe sounds just fine. I actually was going to write for you not worry at all until I read the temps and tub info. Aim for 15% of his body weight for feeding size until 350 - 400 grams, then small rats forever (for most males).
