    Okay I would like to change over to rats. right now Icc is eating hopper mice because that's what he was supposed to be eating when I got him though I think a size up might be good. Here is a pic of my buddy with a quarter for size reference? What size rats should I start him on?

    I think he is about a yearling (11 or 12 months old) I can't recall.

    what size rat would you guess?

    oh and he ate monday and hasn't *defecated* since before i got him (3.17) so that may explain the extra buldge.

    Rat pups should be just fine. Thier prey should be about the size of the thickest part of thier body.

    Yeah, rat pups are the way to go. I have just converted my growing BP female to rats, from mice. I used the rat pups whose eyes just opened, and who have just started getting a bit of fur on them. Amazingly, she takes the rat pups with greast relish, though she was a spotty feeder on mice.
