If you can get a hold of some mice, I'd advise doing that instead of feeding a rat pink. Pinks are nothing but bags of water and fat, barely nutritious. There is also talk of boa constrictors being sensitive to milk belly because of the fat in the milk. I've heard of prolapses and death being attributed to milk belly.

A rat pink should be ok for the time being, but I'd try to get mouse fuzzies or mouse hoppers if you can, and waiting to offer rats until she's big enough for jumbo adult mice or rat pups/weaned rats. It's always best to feed as fully developed rodents as you can, since they have more calcium and other nutrients due to higher bone densities and more fully formed organs. Pinkies have rather underdeveloped organs and bones. Boa constrictors are not known for becoming attached to one prey item like ball pythons, so you should be able to make the switch easily when she's ready. You should also not have too much of a problem getting her onto f/t.
