    Quick feeding question

    So Atticus is currently eating adult frozen mice, which are about 18g each. He eats one every five days like clockwork, and he's over 200g now. It doesn't seem like they are big enough for him anymore, but the next size up is 40g small rats. I'm wondering if I can just feed him every 3-4 days instead, or if I'll just have to order f/t online.

    Are you buying from a local shop? The smallest they got in rats is 40g? All the places around me have every size mouse and rat in stock for frozen. Now live is a different story for small stuff as I have 1 place semi close to me that has pinkie/fuzzy rats all the time. I'm sure you can do every 3-4 days as I feed my little girl a 11-14g pinkie rat every 3 days till I get her filled out(got her just over a week ago) and she is 120g now. You can also just feed 2 mice every 6-7 days till he is big enough for those rats.
