When you can't get the right prey size

Alright, so--I'm stuck buying Arctic Mice for the time being. I only have two snakes, so bulk online orders aren't practical for me right now. Not when they're both growing youngsters who will change sizes as time progresses, at any rate. I'll reconsider when the garter is eating whole pinks, maybe. But in the meantime...

I bumped my MBK off pinks onto fuzzies per general recommendation, but man, the fuzzies I buy seem to vary widely in size, and even some of the smaller ones are more than the 10-15% weight I see recommended.

When I'm stuck feeding a larger than recommended feed item, should I space out his feedings more? Right now he eats every 7 days, but he's gone 2 weeks while in blue without trying to eat my hand instead.

I'm not sure how old the snake in question is--but he measured ~23 grams last I measured him.
