There is no problem feeding medium or large rats.

My male who is at 11-12 year old eat a medium or large rat every 7 weeks. And that, all year long, he might skip a meal once in a while but so far he is alwas eating. Same for some of my big female medium or large rats.

Actually, I feed all my breeding size female medium rats and so far, they are all eating.

looks great


I also feed all my adult balls large rats and never had a problem. My male will even take rabbit pups sometimes

I usually feed my adults mediums, but they're eating larges right now because RodentPro has a big sale on them. Of course, I think RodentPro's sizes are bit scaled down. Still the larges are pretty good-sized rats.

Putting some last weight on them at the start of the breeding season here. Some of them will no doubt go off feed in the next month or so. Getting these big rats into them will really make a difference for the females on the smaller end of the scale. They've had 2 in a row now, and show no signs of thinking it's too much food. <lol>
It IS the 'feeding season'.

Sweet Looking ball..:D
