Adult mice may be a bit too big. Try hoppers or small weanlings instead. Also, I have gotten mice from RodentPro and they are fine. Not crazy about the packaging, but arrived frozen and AOK. At her age with bigger meals, every seven days should be fine unless you are really trying to push her to breed this spring. Then offer her food every four to five days. If you feed a huge meal too often, she may have digestion problems and regurge on you. I fed my hatchlings from this year fuzzy sized mice. They ate it, but were all real lumped up. No way I feed them something that big within four days again.

Her cage sounds fine too. I keep my adult corns in racks with sweater box sized tubs. They are only about 24 x 17 inches and six inches hight.

Take Care
