Question on my bp's weight
Hi yall. I've had Oliver here for about 6 months and hes been doing great. Hes a good eater and has been acting normal, but I am just wondering if his weight looks good for his age/size? (About 8 months old). Hes just eating large mice right now but I'm going to try to transition him to rat pups soon. I just ordered a scale so I can make sure hes not losing weight or anything, so I'm not sure of his exact weight just yet. In the second photo, you can see that his skin wrinkles up when turning. Is this normal or is he underweight/dehydrated? Please give me your insight!

He looks like a fine boi!
He looks to be a healthy weight; however, he’s a little slim for my personal taste, I would recommend either increasing frequency or bumping him up 1 size in rodents.
If you still have a bunch of large mice, then I’d recommend feeding those more frequently until they’re used up.
For example, if you usually feed weekly, then try every 5 days.
Then once your mice are used up, resume a normal feeding schedule on larger sized prey.
