Question Baby red tail boa feeding?

I've had him for a few months now, he's a baby still. He's about 2 feet long, with a diameter/girth of an inch. He's been eating 2 fuzzy mice these past couple of weeks, so I know it's time to up the prey size. Hoppers look fine but he will outgrow them fast and with ordering online, you can only order in bulk. Will adult mice be too big? They look like the right diameter but I'm not sure if the length of them is too big. I definitely do not want to power feed him, but I think he should be able to take an adult mice, just don't want to over feed him. Another question, how often do RTB's upgrade their prey size within the first year? So I can kindve get an idea on how many mice to buy.. So I don't buy 50 and then they're too small in a couple months. Another question is when do you transition them into only feeding every couple weeks? I can't ever tell when he's hungry, we just feed every Wednesday.
