Feeder 17% of BP body weight?

So I know I’m supposed to feed between 10-15% of her body weight, but due to an error from my frozen rat supplier I’m stuck with over 30 frozen rats ranging between 25-40g. She’s 145g as of now and I successfully fed her a 22g rat last week, but now the lowest I have it 25g. Is it safe to feed her a little larger prey than preferred? Also she hasn’t pooped in 3 weeks and she’s been fed 3 times. So I’m a little concerned about her getting backed up. Should I wait til I can get smaller feeders? Should I proceed feeding tomorrow? Any advice appreciated :)

She should be fine. You may want to extend the interval between feedings to 10 or even 14 days instead of feeding weekly.

I agree.
