If she weighs 300 grams you could probably feed her a larger prey item. Go by the rule of thumb: the thickest part of the snake should be about the size of the prey your giving to it.
It's ok to be a bit smaller, but that sounds almost too small. ;]
My 200g ball python is eating large adult mice easily, and will be moving up a size soon enough.
