Hey there!
I have a 4½ month old male BP. He weighs 288 grams empty (as of yesterday) and he's currently on Small rats and they actually seem a little too small for him. They're definitely not the same thickness as his body, they're a little bit smaller. I weighed the rat and it was 46 grams. All my Small rats are between 35 and 50 grams.
Now, I live in Denmark and we might have different labels for the feeder sizes? Cause I feel like Helix (my snake) should be moving up to bigger rats soon, and from what I've found here on the forum, people don't recommend Medium rats until the BP is at least twice the size Helix is now. Could it be that my country is simply labelling the sizes differently?
Cause I find myself very confused when a person on the forum says their adult BP is eating either small or medium rats and Helix already seems too big for them.
I added a picture of a 'danish' Small rat. (I am a girl and my hand is not that large)
