    What Size Next
    Petey is working on finishing up the f/t fuzzy rats I purchased, he's taking 2 per feeding every 4 to 5 days. He's up to 183 grams on empty and feeding great. Should I go with rat pups next or go with weaned rats?

    Where I get my Rats from the sizes are as follows:

    Pups (20 – 29g) 14 – 19 days
    Weanlings (30 – 49g) 20 – 25 days

    I would probably be feeding pups depending on your guys feeding response and girth.

    Lot's of people go by the logic of 10-15% of your snakes bodyweight for feeding or a rat that is roughly the size of the thickest part of your snake.
