    Got the wrong size rats

    The local guy that I buy rats from gave me the wrong rats. I asked him for med-lrg and he gave me small-small medium. I don't want these to go to waste and have three large BPs that I planned on feeding the med-large rats that I wanted.
    I feel like these rats are smaller than what they could eat, but don't think eating two every feeding makes sense. Could I feed them every 5 days instead of every 7? I don't want to be a pain and call the guy and say anything or switch them out and would rather just use them. Any suggestions?

    I personally would be a pain and call him up, especially if he's local to you. You wanted an item but didn't get what you paid for.

    But if you want to use them anyway, I don't see any harm in a 5-6 day schedule to use them up until you get your correct sized feeders.

    Did you pick them up in person and didn't notice they were the wrong size?

    My boyfriend picked them up for me.

    ^ Super easy to explain then that they weren't what you were looking for and you'd like to exchange for the larger ones

    But regardless, 5-6 days will be fine if you stick with the smaller feeders.
