Hey all,

Haven't been on for a while.

Got my "2010 baby" BP last May, she was not much bigger than a hatchling. Now she is about 600 grams! Healthy and growing fast. I was breeding mice and ASF's just after getting her, she was eating both but now I am only breeding/feeding ASF's cause the mice were getting to be more of a snack.

I have been weighing Pandora on a weekly basis, and then feeding her an appropriate sized meal. I have been using the 10-15% body weight rule, most of the time closer to 15% and feeding every seven days.

Here is my question: I find that my ASF rats are topping out between 70-90 grams. If/when Pandora gets to be 5000 grams I am not sure how to feed properly. If I continue to feed in the manner I have been, that would be about 10 rats in one feeding every seven days. I have a breeding situation which might be able to keep up with this, but I dont think I can.

I would prefer to stay with the ASF's because I keep them in my bedroom of my small apartment and their odor is very mild compared to mice or domestic rats.

What will be the best way to deal with feeding when she gets up to size?
