Instead of going straight to big ass rats; try slowly going from small mice to medium rats- something like 8 mice to 4 rats; then increase the size, 3 bigger rats, then 2.

Will get your animal used to larger food items slowly.

Also, as the fella above said, you can prolly slow the feeding slightly- the equivalent of 8 mice, 2 times per day is ALOT; depending on the size of the monitor- im guessing this is a big fella though, so maybe not.
