    Rat feeding question

    Hey guys, so I have a question. I was planning on getting some frozen feeders for my snakes which I'm getting soon and just getting all of my questions answered before I do while I wait for my enclosures to be built.

    So my question is: if I buy frozen rats in bulk, how many do I need so my snake doesn't outgrow them? I don't want to buy a certain amount and then my snake gets too big and I'm forced to finish those and they are too small for the snake and have to buy bigger ones. So what is the best way to buy them?

    I know they have to be the same size or 1.5x bigger than the thickest part of the snake and/or 10-15% of the snakes bodyweight but how fast will it change?

    Also, out of curiosity, let's say I started breeding rats in a few years. How fast do they grow? If I fed the snakes one week and the rats keep growing, they would get too big for the snakes after a few weeks right?
