My girl just ate her first rat last week in about 5 months(Oct or Nov '15). I have no idea how much weight she lost as I don't really pay much attention to it. She would come out at night, thermo regulate and overall looked fine so I figured, she will eat when she eats. I just offered her a rat every 2 weeks when I fed the boas. You can drive yourself mad worrying about BPs. As long as your snake looks ok, husbandry is good, and overall everything seems right, just offer him food every week or 2. You don't want to offer food too often as that can stress them out.
