    You should really try to get the animal eating rats while it is so willing to feed. Rats are much easier in the long run.
    Well I did see some small rats at the pet store, but they looked HUGE! Although, I guess i'm not a snake.

    You most likely need rat pups. Not an adult rat.

    Anyone have the link to the feeding size chart?
