Why go from weaner mouse to weaner rat? There's nothing wrong with larger mice as food, and it wouldn't be so intimidating. There's absolutely no reason to get them onto rats 'as soon as possible' - especially if the snake isn't ready for them. There is no set age where the change should be made, it depends on the development of the individual reptile, and it won't suffer any reduction in growth or condition by staying on mice for while longer.

I agree with Jamie but would add, if your snake is big enough for small rats then consider day old chickens or at least the severed neck and head.
