So after paying a little over $3.00 after tax for a rat "pup" (which seemed more like a fuzzy) at the pet store, I took the plunge and ordered from Big Cheese. I got a pack of rat fuzzies because they supposedly average 10-19g. I'm planning on following the 10-15% suggestion. Since my BP was 108 grams about two weeks ago, and has now eaten twice, I figure that should take me through for a bit with weekly feedings.

Now I've watched him eat twice. When/If it seems I have to double up on the fuzzies, assuming he gains sufficient weight before I finish the pack, how far down his throat and body should the first prey be before I attempt to offer a second?

Also, what's a good suggestion on how often to weigh? Once a month?

Finally, after the first feedings, I waited a week before tonight's meal. I've yet to see any waste products in his tank. Is that normal?
