dohh !! i missed that Vance.. yep that is correct.. most will go mice for life.. I myself have fed them mice and some on rats, but the ones i feed rats too always get smaller than their widest grit and ONLY 1, rats have more fat in them and bigger bones so care is a must....

i have a two year old and she eats 1 small pup every 7 to 10 days, grows nicely and never ever had a prolaps with any GTP

OP you really have to change your way of feeding these snakes, small prey and less often.
power feeding any snake is a bad idea and doing it with a GTP !!! well you get what you got,
you were lucky to notice it as the problem could have been way worst..

hard to tell by looking at the pictures, but from what i can tell, the size of this little guy, he should be eating 1 fuzy mice or a small pinky rat or at the most a small fuzy rat but only if it's size allows it.. but absolutely not a pup let alone 2 of them you were lucky it didn't compact itself or have a much more sever prolapse..

best of luck
