I feed him a small rat three weeks ago and I thought he would be hungry by now... which he isnt.. so now I have adopted a small rat as a pet until the snake is actually hungry... Is there some kind of rule that if the snake hasnt take a dump yet.. they're not going to eat? also he's not going to shed any time so so... this is confusing

Mine will eat usually 1x a week, but if they are in shed, or if it's winter, or a full moon (j/k) they decide to skip a meal. I would keep offering 1x a week until it eats. It's not abnormal for a BP to go 3 weeks or more without a feed. Winter months can be worse, with them going 6 months without food! (Nov - April is what my guy did last year)
