My BRB also happily accepts rats, mice, quail, chicks, and reptilinks - the quail or rabbit + quail varieties. I like providing some variety in diet; I suspect it helps promote a varied gut flora and the snakes simply seem to enjoy it.
Editing to add: Almost all of my snakes love reptilinks; a couple of them look at me like I'm crazy when I offer them. I have never tried them with my Royal (Ball) Python as the reptilinks folks actually caution using them for BP only because these snakes can be so notoriously sensitive about food. I think I'll offer him one, though, and see how things go. He's an easy-going guy who has never refused a meal.
Just be aware, if you try them, that they have a higher caloric content overall than whole prey of equivalent weight - but they are really a nice concentrated nutritional boost and treat.
