I have 2 girls that I am getting ready for the season starting November 1st (so excited). Now they are about 1700 grams and both over 2 yrs old. Ones been proven and the other is a virgin. Now I normally feed 150ish gram rats to these girls. Last sat (feeding day) they both took down 200 gram rats just fine. But now what I am wondering is, weight is always good to add to a female about to get into the season but what is the proper diet for these girls? Should I keep it at 10% or less (medium rats instead 120 grams) or bump it up higher to the 200 gram rats?
I know I have my males on a diet of small rats so they don't get fat and lazy and won't breed. Cuz I don't want that, want my guys lean and mean. All males in the collection are 700-850 grams and already a year or coming close.
