All of my sub adults are almost ready to eat small rats. I have 2 females (566g and 589g NOT empty) and one male (around 700g NOT empty but he's currently breeding so I can't pull him out to weight him ) who all ate on the 12th (male ate on the 13th).

Last week, I went to my feeder store and they were out of everything. I drove across town to the only other place I know that sells them and all they had were small rats. So I picked them all up a small rat. No one had any issues eating.

I feed weekly (every Tuesday). Do you think I should just go ahead and give them all small rats? Or should I keep the girls on weaned rats for a few more meals and then bump them up but buy my male a small? Or should I keep them all on weaned rats. I have a feeding plan somewhere that I think says to feed up to 600g weaned rats and anything 600-1200g can eat smalls. What's your opinion?
