Growth, weights, etc...what is normal average?
I just recently got a scale...since tonight is feeding night I weighed everyone earlier today. Now I'm wondering if I am feeding enough...can someone remind me what the formula is to figure out size of rat based on weight?
My oldest girl, Cleo, is about 5.5 years old, I was a bit surprised when the scale told me 1160gms. Now, she is my problem child in regards to eating, in fact just came off a 5 month feeding fast (think she ate once somewhere in the middle) but has slammed the last 2 small rats I've given her. Before her fast she was taking medium rats but I went back to small after the fast because she kept refusing the mediums. Any suggestions?
My 2 smallest girls were tough to get going when I first got them...the Feb 2016 girl, Meri, is now 167gms and the July 2016 girl, Isis, is 116gms. I think I spent the first 2-3 months praying for them to eat. Meri still doesnt like anything too big, so I really walk the line with her. But they both usually eat like clockwork now.
Then the middle 3...Ramses (8/15) weighs 420gms. Seti (8/15) weighs 343gms. Nefertiri (12/15) weighs 336gms. Ramses is kinda the piggie...if someone wouldn't eat he was always willing to be the garbage disposal.
I feed weekly, f/t, and all rats...so anything I should/could be doing different?
