    Feeding by Weight

    Hey all, just want to make sure I have this right. Last week I fed my girl by girth. I fed her a small rat that was about the size of her girth if not slightly larger. Couldnt really tell if it really was larger just by eye balling it.

    I just weighed her tonight and she is 447g. So if I feed by weight I am looking for prey no larger than what...67g and no smaller than 44g. Based on the 10 - 15 precent guidline?

    Is this correct? I plan on sizing based on girth but to make sure I dont make a newb mistake I am also considering grams of the prey.

    Just wanted to make sure before I order a flat of rats that I got this correct. It looks like I am looking for rats in the small rat category...correct?

    Oh and if you have a recommended source for online let me know. I also heard there may be a show coming up in Arlington TX. Are shows a good source for F/T at bargain prices?
