Ha, I thought that was a typo and wondered why a BP would want to "own" a rat, LOL!
Yes, rats look so long, but Patriot's last 2 meals were 2 mice totalling 40g and around 4", which is the small 40g rat from Petco. He's 314g at the moment (literally weighed him just now), and if he'll increase that by 20g or 40, depending if he eats one or both mice I'm about to feed him. I think once we're done with the next mousey 4-pack, he'll move onto a small rat by the end of this month.
