The rat is probably just to big to digest. Rats can provide more calcium than mice. If your trying an average adult rat, try two or three small rats (the size of big female breeder mice).

I have an adult blue beauty that is 9' but will still regurge an adult rat.

I feed, well in fact just fed him 4 small rats which amounts to probably more mass than one adult rat. In that it is not one huge bulge it can handle it easily.

I save the large rats for my python which has a much bulkier body.

Mike.
