How many adult mice is she getting at a time and what size are they (adult mice come in small, medium, large and extra-large sizes)? My corn is about the same age/size and is eating 2 large-medium mice. As a general rule, if she still appears hungry and the bump in the belly isn't very noticeable after feeding increase the number of mice being fed (up to three) or, if you are already feeding three at a time move up to the next size.
