I would invest in a scale if you don't alredy have on and get a good weight on your little guy takes a lot of guess work out of what to feed. As a rule I like to feed 10-15% of body weight every 5 days till they are abour a year old or 650-700 Grams. Then I move to a weekly or bi-weekly depends on how the snake eats.
Hmmm are rat pups bigger or smaller than mice hoppers? If they are bigger that might be a good thing to transition him on...

Yeah it definitely seems much easier to just feed one and done, especially since so far he's been good about eating.

I'm off to get that scale now! Thanks!
