Is it safe to feed a 32 inch ball python a f/t small rat? There is quite a jump between a large mouse and a small rat with nothing in between. It seems like the small rat is about wide as the snake (1.5 inches) or slightly larger. Any help from someone with experience would be appreciated.
 
Sounds like it would be fine, based off the description of girth. Length has a lot less importance when choosing food size. You just don't want to create such a lump that the snake cannot coil/ball-up normally with rat in it's belly.
 
I agree with Matt, that prey size sounds fine. In my experience, they won't usually eat it if its too big. However, if you want you could always go to rat pups first if you are worried about it.
