Hi guys,
Apparently, I screwed up on my last f/t order and forgot to order more weaned rats. I still have smalls and rat pups, but not the size in between. Elaine, my pastave, has been feeding on weaned rats for about 3 months and I don't think she's ready to move up to smalls yet... That said, when I noticed I was out last week, I went ahead and gave her one of the smaller "smalls" and she has seemed too "stuffed" since... Not as active and hugging her hot spot more than normal. She's going into shed, so I have a week or so to figure out what to do next feeding.

All that said, the next feeding, should I feed 2 rat pups, or try to find another smaller "small" rat? I'm not sure which is the better option.. If I should feed the slightly too large size, should I give her more time between meals to digest (she's been on a weekly feeding schedule)?

I will be ordering f/t again, but want to wait until I run out of another size so I'll probably have to make do for at least 4 more feedings.

Any advice you guys have in this area would be great. She's my first BP, so I don't want to do anything that would cause her distress.

Thanks for your input!
