    Also jumbo rats weigh anywhere from 16-24 oz. They are usually retired breeders and are quite high in fat. While the larger pythons do fine eating them, a similar-sized rabbit is a healthier feeder for a boa.
    Im asleep at the wheel here.. I just realized this is a Boa after reading your reply hahahahaha.
    I agree if a snake hasn't been eating correctly take it slow. Id stay on the smaller side not to stress the digestive track too. Stuffing it after not eating properly can cause a Regurgitation and thats no good.
