    Switching to rats

    I'm feeding my snake every 5-6 days on adult mice. He is ~150-175 grams as of now and 4 months old. He is getting fat but not growing fast since I know people whose balls are younger than mine and 300-400 grams. I want to switch him to rat pups but my question is if I do switch would I have to feed less considering the rats are more nutritious? I have never fed rats before to any snakes I have kept. I bought a rat pup/weanling tonight that I thought was "ok" but ended up being 35 grams which I thought was too big and that is the smallest rats they carry. Is it worth to switch? I should mention he is a garbage disposal so I doubt he will refuse rats.
