    Mouse size to rat size conversion chart?
    Hey guys!

    A couple of days ago I thought I saw someone post a chart of the different sizes of mice to similar sizes of rats and I can't seem to find it now. Is it possible if someone can post one for me please? I'm getting a new bp in possibly next tuesday and he's currently on live hopper mice and I'd like to switch him to an appropriately sized fresh killed rat once he's settled in. Thank you in advance!

    Im now saving this to my phone and ipad so I will always have it lol. Any advice on switching a bp from mice to rats? The one thats coming in is about 80 grams and 2 months old. I was lucky my other two were already on rats when I purchased them at my local reptile store.

    Some will take right away, but there are methods that can be used if they don't, though I'm not the best to offer up these methods haha I'm sure someone else will either chime in or a quick search will give you the results you were looking for

    What I do is wait the customary 2 weeks for acclimation then put in a live rat pup...for me they eat them immediately! Do that a few times and I'm usually good :gj:

    I keep that same weight chart on hand, but also use this image to keep things a bit more visual.
