thanks again for all the data.
I just went out and bought some muzuri rat/mouse food the other day and noticed it says on the package aprx. how much a rat and how mucha mouse will go through in a day.

"Adult Rats: 16 - 26 grams per day (approx. 4 to 7 pellets)
Adult Mice 4 - 5 grams per day (approx. 1 to 2 pellets)"
