    do you know how much the 2 small rats weigh together? Most people feed bigger, more established animals 10-15% of their body weight. 15% of 1700 is 255, that sounds pretty good, small rats are like 80-150 grams or something? (depends on the supplier). Some people move thier big girls up to mediums i think.
