Feeding more than one rat at a sitting?

Hey hey, due to a shortage in rats at the shops this weekend, i've had to buy smaller rats than normal. I have never fed more than one rat at a time to my babies so if there are any tricks to it, i would love to hear em. Cheers!

I have fed a couple of pinkies to finish them off before switching to fuzzies and my baby just took them both no problem. I'm sure in the wild a python would contnt itself with several small pieces of food rather than on large one.
