... sorry 'bout that ...
41.74 -- 0.00 -- 0.0000 (refused prior to shedding)
42.88 -- 3.59 -- 0.0837
43.77 -- 4.53 -- 0.1030
48.27 -- 5.60 -- 0.1160
48.38 -- 8.12 -- 0.1680
Not that anyone should take these ratios as optimal, but it looks like at least for this individual, she's fine with meals that are up to near 18% of her body weight.
So 5 small fuzzies probably weigh in around 3.5-4.5g each? So for an 86g snake about 17-23g of mouse, giving a ratio of 19% to 26%.
It's possible this ratio isn't really constant, and gets bigger for larger snakes, in which case a 5 fuzzy meal might be reasonably sized.
In any case, hopefully she comes around and starts holding down meals! 
Take care,
Paul
