Rosy Boa help

I have been the unfortunate recipient of a trade deal gone bad.

I have a Coastal Rosy that has some health issues. At first, mites. She was appropriately sprayed with an anti-mite solution and during that time, it refused any food offered for a month. It took about 30 days to completely get rid of its mite problem and he is now free and clear since 5/03/2010.

He fed normally every 7-10 days since. Slowly gaining his normal weight back up. He is an adult and currently at 126g, dry weight (no meal).

He then had a difficult time shedding completely, despite daily spraying and increased humidity in his tub home. He finally shed on 6/28/2010, 5 days after blue-eye.

After his shed, he was offered 2 f/t pinky rats which he did not take until I split their skulls. I am now wondering if that may have been a little too much? Today on 7/05/2010 he regurgitated.

Any help, advice, tips is appreciated. I would like to bring him back to health. Perhaps switch him back to a mice diet? How long should I wait to offer him another?
