As stated above 1 rabbit a month is fine for that guy. There are other options, but you are best doing a site search here to find them.
From what the sellers have told you so far, I'm not confident they have passed on the best advice.
The RHP will be great, and when you can look for a larger enclosure. Hopefully you have a quality thermostat, but if not look into Herpstats.
I would give your boa a least a month to clean out before feeding again.
