Depends on how big he is. The rule is feed nothing thicker than the snake and feed 10-15% of the bodyweight providing it doesn't break the first rule. Best bet is get some scales.

I think a lot of people (me included!) use this feeding guide:

Blackecho's feeding guide - feed 10/15% of the snake's weight.
0-400g - feed every 5 days
400-800g feed every 7 days
800-1200g every 10 days
1200g+ every 14 days

He was hatched in April and is already on weaner rats at 8 months old?! Wow he must be a chunky monkey, mine is on weaners and he is two years old (ish)

He's only on the small weaner rats but he eats them no problem... He is quite chunky tho lol! He only misses a feed when he's shedding.
