    I would wait the full 5 days....you don't want to over work her digestive system, and she already has something she's working on. I have 2 babies that are only a couple of months old and they are eating adult mice.

    So my girl is now 130 grams and she has ate a few adult mice. I want to switch her to rats and bought a couple rat pups. Would those be ok for her to eat?

    Oh yes, rat pups would be perfect if shes 130 grams, actually a lot of people start them on rat pinks, then straight to rat pups. I've also known some people to go straight to rat pups with hatchlings depending on size. Also the earlier you can get them on rats the better, you don't want a mouser!!

    Oh yeah but otherwise every 5 days sounds fine, just up the size of food and you'll be fine. I fed every 4 days for about 7 months before it got laborious getting food, now it's every 7 days.
