**edit- just noticed your snake already ate but maybe this is helpfull to someone else**
as long as your snake is healthy and acts normal as ussual your bp will be totally okay. However if you notice alot of change in behavior or notice the snake getting less healthy maybe go to a vet that knows how to examine snakes. I wouldn’t assist or force feed as tere are some risks if you don’t do it correctly. Ball pythons are often picky feeders, maybe your snake wants only a certain color of rat or only a male/female rat? For example i’m pretty sure my bp only eats female rats.. i have heard of ball pythons going months without food and then when they feel like eating again they will eat. (Although if your bp is a small baby i dont know if it is safe to go too many months without food) my (adult) ball python has also not eaten in over a month because of winter i think. Unless your snake ussually eats frozen thawed, maybe try live rats 1 time?(just watch while feeding if you are feeding live to make sure the rat doesn’t bite the snake)
hope this isn’t confusing and hope it helps! ~Jasmijn
