If they are not already frozen. Whack em and freeze em. You can also put an ad in your local paper for surplus rats.
Take Care

I have a reticulated python that will put down 30-some medium rats in a sitting and still want more. If my rats produce too many, I let him feast. However, now that I have more snakes, I am having to go buy feeders a few times a month...and it's killing me! LOL!
I'm in Central California and could most definitely use someone's surplus rats. Are you close?
Otherwise, freezing them is your only other option.

when I have too many rats, Rumplesnakeskin becomes a "garbage disposal" service. He's 14 feet and will happily eat anything but birds.
I do have a trio of rabbits out back but they're a little slow on the reproduction.
