small meal more often or large meal less often?

whats the consensus on this for a boa ? My cbb 2010 hog island is 36 " and 270 grams , and very healthy and fit but was raised on mice by the breeder , not me. I got him in June and I have switched him to weanling rats now with no problems . Breeder was giving him 1 adult mouse every 7 to 10 days and I'm giving him a big weanling every 7-10 days . i know know he could take a small rat or a smaller medium rat maybe and I could switch to a longer cycle but whats the story on this? Also whats wrong with mice anyway? I have read that rats can be linked to fatty liver problems so thought about mixing rats,mice and chicks. any opinions on this?

also I read somehting about feeding 10% of your snakes weight every 15 days , this seems about right or is this not correct?
