    Thanks! In your experience, are males usually up to weight by a year of age, or does it usually take longer?

    Usually around a year they are up to size with the one feeding a week that I do sometimes a little longer but on average it is one year.

    A year and a half on some of my males when they stop eating for winter, and that can set things back when they dont eat for 6+months. I just had a male eat about a week ago and he hasnt taken one rat since november.
