It's time to get a garbage can. I recommend either a boa or retic. When Dottie went on her winter fast last year, she quit eating around Nov and began again around Mar/Apr. This winter so far she has just been pounding smalls once a week. I avoid mediums as it seems if I feed her smaller meals, she stays more consistent with eating. If I give her big meals, she becomes sporatic and sometimes will go 2 weeks.
I offered her a rat every 2 weeks and if she didn't want it, I gave it to a boa. Now that I got a retic who is king garbage can, I offer every week but like I said, Dottie has been eating so far through the winter.
Without another snake to eat the excess, I would just offer every 2-4 weeks and then I would throw the rat out. Some people will say you can refreeze it but I say bad idea. Once it's been thawed and warmed up, bacteria is going to start to grow on it.
