So I just received my rat shipment from big cheese rodents, and even though I ordered smalls (50-89 grams) they are all in the upper range (75-92g, 6 out of the 15 are 88 g). Mashadar is only 550g currently, and I know that he'll grow into the smalls and I was hoping for a much more even weight range...but I need to get a couple of rats that are in the 55-65 range to last a few weeks until he is bigger and can handle the +70g rats - they are a little wider than he is.

Layne Labratories is the only company that I can find that has rats in his range (their smalls are 40-69 g) and that I can buy less than 20 of them. Does anyone use them and are their rats good quality? If I get some that are less then 50 g that is fine, I'll just feed every 5 days instead of every 7, so that does not bother me.

*_* It sucks that buying 5-10 rats from them will cost the same as an order of 25 from big cheese, but I really need a few smaller feeders to get him through.
