My Ball weighs between 125 and 150 grams right now, just a baby. I purhcased a six pack of Small Artic Mice (frozen). He's eating them just fine, but they don't seem to leave much of a bulge in him afterward. I'm considering getting rats from a source like Rodentpro.com, but I'm not sure what size to go with. I'm assuming it would probably either be fuzzies or pups for his size, but this is my first Ball and I don't want to go too big or too little. Thanks for your help.

You don't want to leave a bulge. Feed prey the same size as the snake once a week. This will lead to a healthy consistant growth for your Ball Python. I would get pups from rodentpro. They come in a wide weight range so you can feed from smaller to larger.
