Feeding the correct size of feed

Is there a chart or basic guideline to follow, to see when I should start feeding larger mice or rats? Im not sure when I should move up to a larger rodent for feed?

The general rule-of-thumb is to feed them (approx) 10-15% of their body weight in prey, at least until they're over 1000g. You can also estimate no MORE than 1.5x their widest part, usually right around the middle of their body. Do you have a scale, and are you feeding live or f/t? Mice or rats?

Yes I have a scale, But havent got around to weighing the BP's or the mice I feed.

Two of the BP's i feed frozen/thawed, and one eats live.

so a 100gram BP would be eating a 15G mice once a week? is that right

Correct, but as always I recommend feeding rats over mice. I also feed younger balls every 5 days. :gj:
