I am not saying that i,m right, just saying not possible to feed him small rats now.
You have to leave them hungry, that's the point. They'll eat until they burst if you let them. Opportunistic feeders. Do you feed your dog until he passes out right about to explode? Hopefully not. If you really care about the animal, then do what's right. I don't even know how a snake of the size you describe could eat a rat that big in the first place.
