Not really sure on the weight thing, but just because she hasn't aten in a week, nothing to worry about. However she seems fine in size to me.

so a small rat isnt too big, it takes her a while to eat it

Her size seems fine and don't worry about her not eating for a week. You did say she was in shed some Balls do not eat while they are in shed. As far as the small rat goes it is hard to say, every where I have been rats are never a consistent size. What one place calls a small others call medium. My suppliers smalls are small compared to other places but his prices are great I can deal with that. Just make sure she does not struggle with her food item.

Yea with saying small, it's like saying you like a Florida school, it's very broad. Best thing to do is to weigh the mouse, everything goes by grams.

She looks healthy to me, not skinny at all. If you're really worried about it though, you can find a basic gram scale for pretty cheap, ~$10 at Walmart.
