Stop saying that it's a waste of time to weigh the prey. That's not necessarily how you have to do it, but it's not a waste of time. Is it a waste of time to count calories over just eyeballing what's on your plate? Well, that depends on you. Same applies here.

You also forgot to mention that if you can't afford shipping charges no matter how high, then you shouldn't have pets.

I've never fed by weight before I got a scale but since I do it's just nice to know the weights of everything. I've been buying my rodents from aquatic critter and I've never known the weights of the rats I just went by the thickest part. But since aquatic critter is getting pricey I want to start buying from breeders online and they happen to have the weights of all the feeders :) so it's just nice to know. So now I can go buy thickness and weight. :)

The OP is ordering online. They cant measure the rodent. Please if you have nothing constructive to say in the conversation don't post.
