    Help with rat sizing please :)
    My BP (baby about 2-3 months old) is currently eating 2 f/t fuzzy rats every week. I started feeding him 2 as I had a bunch left over from the 10 pack I ordered and didn't want to waste them. Well its time to order more rats now and I'm wondering what size I should go. Should I go for pups or should I go for weaned? Hes a VERY good eater, as in he will launch himself like big derp from across the cage at his food he gets so excited XD. I don't have a scale to weigh him unfortunately but he has grown a bit since I've gotten him, and like I said he is a very excitable and great eater.

    I’m a newbie but our BP weighed 214 g when we brought him home and is eating pups. I have limited supplies right now as he is still on live. The first one I got was only about 15-20 grams. This week they had a larger one over 30. Since we just brought him home 2 weeks ago I’m doing one more live then switch to F/T. According to the chart he will need to grow quite a bit to move up to weaned. I’m not sure how quick he will grow...

    That’s just an assist, I’ve always gone with 10%ish of their weight OR the thickest part of their body.
