My adult male cinnamons, and my adult female cinnamons are the largest. 'Mr.Beefcake' was my most monstrous at about 130-140 in his prime. He's a bit smaller now.
My agouti NEVER top 70 grams, don't know why.
My BEW and Platinums also get very large, and they end up generally around 90-100 grams.
This isn't a speedy process mind you, so for the feeder breeder it's pretty useless.
If they're gonna get that big, it'll happen when they're about 1 year old, maybe a little less, maybe a little more.
I also feed a very very good diet that i hand mix, so that might be part of what's going on.
But just looking at my numbers, it also has to do with the colonies themselves, and even possibly colours.
Here's a photo of 'Mr.Beefcake' next to a normal sized 60-70 gram ASF. Everything from his feet, to his head, to his entire BODY is just big.
EDIT: For reference, this is the 'large' ASF on the ASF size chart, which weighs 52 grams. The female in my photo, is much larger than this rat. And Beefcake could probably cover that whole dollar bill no problem. lol
