My first reaction to your reply is the robot response, 10-15% of his body weight a week. I thought about it a little and then I wondered, when does that stop? I don't care if he gets any bigger, I just care that he's healthly. Unless he turns out to be a she, I don't know for sure have just been basing it on size/age and it's easier than typing he/she everytime, there's really no reason to get any bigger, right?Originally Posted by dr del
Hi,
Actually I would stick to one small rat every 5-7 days and then cut it back to onece every 7 days as a long term regime.
One of the problems with giving them a lot of food is it can actually trigger a fast which means less consistent growth in the long run.
He will put his weight on and grow perfectly well with just the one small rat per week and probably have a far more consistent long term feeding experience.

So are you saying continue with one small rat because that will maintain his current weight and keep him healthy?
