Yeah good don't handle him yet, good idea. This pet store snake just might end up being a PITB to feed. I had that problem from a Mom & Pop Shop and never bought another snake like that again. I've had Great eaters and temperaments from real breeders and I always here the same stories about pet stores and its 99% bad.
I cant remember his size. Im sure it was in this post somewhere. Id go with a proper size mouse to try and get him feeding but if they say he ate rats then you can stick with that. Maybe grab one of each to try.. If he was on Rats make sure not to get one that is to big.. Balls shy away easy if prey is running around spastic or aggressive in any way. Its easy to come home and realize a young rat is still much bigger than you expected after you put it in the enclosure. Cant go wrong with mice as far as size for a Ball Python..
