prey size

I recently(2 weeks ago) picked up two normal balls and tried f/t mice last week, which was a no go, but successfully got one to eat a live mouse, and the other one is still thinking about it. (She is waiting for the right time to strike) I was wondering what the appropriate sized food item should be. One is 310grams, the other 400

Rule of thumb is, prey item should be no thicker than the thickest part of the snake in question.
