At a year old he should be and looks big enough to take adult mice or weaned rats. When it comes to whole prey I feed size appropriate when possible. He looks like he could eat quite a few rat pups (min of 4) compared to one or two weaned rats or adult mice. Depending on where you get your feeders from one appropriate sized feeder would be cheaper than 3 or 4 smaller sizes.

When feeding whole prey as long as they're not bigger than the width of your tegus head then you should be fine. He could eat it with out tearing it apart and making a mess.

You can offer whole prey separate or with meaty meals, doesn't matter.
