Maybe go by this .. your average adult mouse weighs 25-30 grams weaned rats sound about right Id say I try to feed approximately 10%-15% of the body weight of the snake, 300 Gram snake = 30-45 gram meal this is just an approximation .. but the percentage rule is a good way to get an idea of what it should be eating

You could be feeding weaned or small rats. I'm just going to go ahead and pull this picture out every time someone has any doubt on what their snake can take. My bp does this every week:
I bet some of you are getting tired of that pic. I'll take a new one next time of an even bigger rat!

looks like its time for a weened rat :) They arent very much bigger then an adult mouse. You might want to consider buying bulk online. It can be hard to find the right sized meal at the pet stores sometimes... :)
