How often to feed her?

Alot of petstores label them 1 size bigger then they should be to increase profit


Large rat=med
med= small
small=weangling
weangling= crawler.... You get it, Best bet if hes on FT just buy from a local breeder (much cheaper/better quality usualy) and You can buy a bag of 10-20 for the cost of 4-5 at pet store prices.

If you can switch her to f/t you might be able to save money by ordering in bulk, it's what I do and I love the ease of picking out the size I need from the freezer. The only tricky part is figuring out how many of each size to order (I get about 3-4 months worth at a time).

If you can't switch to f/t, you might want to consider buying the mice in advance and "fattening them up" before feeding, but that could be more trouble than it's worth.

She is already on f/t. The box I buy is labeled as "adult mice" but they're small. I'm hoping rat pups come back in stock soon.
