Your breeder said that? LMAO!! Ashley, I mainly feed rats but all 3 of my female mousers always breed first, eat first, lay first.. And they are just as big as my rat feeding females.. Give him as many as he will take. When he refuses the next one then you will know when he's had enough.. 3,4, 10?? He knows what he wants... Not us!!! Good Luck!
