Giving a small snake like that 3 rat pups isnt doing the snake any good at all. It is MUCH MUCH better for the snake to be fed every 4-5 days if you want it to get bigger quicker. It is also easier and quicker for the snake to digest a single smaller mouse than it is to digest one large mass of mouse flesh. Generally, a corn snake that is fed a single appropiate sized mouse on Sunday afternoon will poop on on late Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. Once it has pooped then you can feed it again. I have gotten Taiwan beauty's to just OVER 7ft, corns to 3ft, cali-kings to 3 1/2ft, Bullsnakes to 5ft and burmese to 9ft in ONE YEAR by feeding ONLY after the snake has pooped and feeding smaller prey that is not thicker than the snakes body. The old saying little and often is the best thing to do here if you want a bigger snake. Here is an extract from this website www.applegatereptiles.com/articles/bookfeeding.htm
