    Well from what you've described, she actually seems bigger than my 2011 female who's already pounding f/t rat fuzzies...I'd say she can easily start on rats. In my own experience they seem to keep them fuller longer, and I try to convert them as soon as possible. Try and get her weight or post a picture and we can let you know if you are feeding the correct size.

    I would switch to rats much more nutritional value. I think most would agree on here that rats are the way to go. I feed my little one 20ish gram rat pinks every 5 days and she is doing phenominal.

    Darnit! LGray beat me.

    I don't have a camera, or a scale, but I'll consider that. Anyway, my question was ignored. Can I just feed him more when it's time to feed? Or, say, a day later feed again? I want to use up my punch-card for mouse purchases.

    Yes, but I wouldn't feed any sooner than 3-4 days after the last feeding.
