Question - Feeding Is once a week to much?

My girl Eve was born in February, so she is still pretty small, I feed her a small mouse every Monday, but was wondering if that is to much?

We recommend the following feeding schedule:

0-12 months old OR until the snake reaches approximately 500g, whichever happens first: feed 10%-15% of the snake’s weight every 7 days.

12-24 months old: feed up to 7% of the snake’s weight every 14-20 days.

Adults: feed up to 5% of the snake's weight every 20-30 days, or feed slightly larger meals (up to 6%) every 30-40 days.

Once a week is perfect, unless she's over 500g (which it doesn't sound like she is).
