First litter of rats, and the first problem feeding live...

My live problem isnt anywhere near a gnawed head or anything, just a problem with the second live rat pinky Escobar has had. I came home to find 10 little pink mcnuggets in my rat tub and figured I'd give a couple to my boa (28" and was due to eat). He chomped down the first one doubled over, and the second one... heh. He nailed it from behind and got half in his mouth before he knew it. Of course he didn't have any recourse but to consume it, it went down still kickin. Now this is an hours-old pinky, but I saw it wiggling in Escobar's throat as it went down. Will this lead to problems?
