Well i decided to go with the live mice and my g/f picked two up today...I dropped one into spike's cage about 15 min ago and with 2 min he struck! I will say that i was a little upset at seeing that cute little white mouse go but hey my baby has to eat..now the ? is can i go ahead and feed him the other mouse or should i wait?

If your going to feed him two you should do them right in a row, once he's got the first one down put the second one in. Since you ulimately want to switch to f/t you may want to try pre killing the second one and see if he takes it. If hes already eaten the first one and has gone off to digest, leave him be and try again in 3-4 days.

what do u mean gone off to digest? Right now he is moving all over his cage

Then if he's cruisin' the cage , drop the other one in and see what happens. If he doesn't go after it within 5 or 10 minutes take it out and save it for another day.
