Malnourished Bull Snake (Rescue Snake)

[spyderman]

I have 4.5-5ft Bull Snake. When I had him about 3weeks ago now, he was only being fed one small fuzzy mouse a week. I didn't think this was enough & started him on 1 small Rat a week, straight away. Last week I fed him 2 small rats just to see if he would take it as he was very thin in the body (I can feel his backbone). He is due for another feed this sunday. Should I feed him 2 small rats again, or is this too much. I was told that he would only take what he needs & will refuse food if he doesn't want it. Is this true?

Also, How many times will he ...Uuumm...Go...Do his business? He has been producing waste about twice a week at the moment.
