How big is your BP, and how big is a "largish" rat?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My Bp Is About 2 1/2 Ft To 3 Ft And A Largish Rat Is The Length Of A Deoderant Stick, And The Fatness Of A Cordless Home Phone.
That's probably on the large side of what she really needs. Does it leave a lump that is still noticeable two days later? If so, you're probably good to feed every ten days, or reduce the size a little and stick with a 7-day schedule.
I would probably decrease the size of rat you are feeding. I also feed every Monday for my adults and every 5 days for my babies. Hope this helps.
