Rat popped when fed

I fed my ball python 2 days ago but when I fed him the rat basically popped so I was wondering should I feed him another as he didn't get the insides of the rat

Was it a frozen rodent? If so, it was probably too hot when being thawed out or thawed to quickly.

No. You don't need to feed him til his next scheduled feeding.
