If anyone can answer my questions please?

I was just curious on a couple of things.

Firstly, we weigh all our bp's every month and I see them grow. What is a normal growth in a month? Is 50-100 grams too much?

Secondly, how long would you suggest to keep bps on a certain size mouse or rat before bumping them up to the next size? The last 4 times I fed my pinstripe a small mouse and then I bumped her up to the next size. Is that right? Or should I be feeding her bigger? Sometimes I find her searching her cage a couple days after her feeding as if she's hungry again.

Thirdly, thank you for any advise you may give me. :)

There is no "normal" weight gain, they all grow at different rates...

How much does your pinstripe weight? A small mouse is really only for very young balls IMO....no way to tell what she should be eating unless we know how big she is :)

IMO?

She's actually ate a large mouse this week because the guy at the pet store said her weight called for it. At this moment she weights in at 138 grams but she also ate yesterday so I guess knock off some of those grams to get the right weight.
