Should I keep a close eye on this?

Well, assuming an adult mouse is 30g (which I'm not 100% sure of) then I'd say it's time to switch to weaned rats. After 3-4 weaned rats you can start to feed smalls. This is for your BP, I'm not 100% sure about the other species. It may look like your 300g'ish BP is going to explode when you feed it a small.. don't worry, it won't. Feed it a small, then skip a week, then feed a small, then skip a week. After that you can feed smalls every Thursday again.

This isn't a rule - this is what I would do.

Cool! I've been excited to start feeding him rats for awhile (for some random, unknown reason) The pet store likes to guilt trip me when I buy rats and mice as feeders... Kind of annoying, and makes me feel guilty :/ they're always like "ohh, they're so young. But food is food" and I'm like

And THAT is why I'll be buying a deep freezer and about $200 worth of snake food at the end of October.

I wouldn't buy that much at first... I'd see how the switch goes first... but that's me

That's part of the point of waiting until the end of October. And I'm not spending $200 on only him. I meant $200 for my entire hoard of snakes (lol)
