Are they the right size?

I believe that you are supposed to feed them that much a week. Not that whatever they are eating is automatically 10% of their body weight. For example you could feed a 1000 gram snake a 20 g mouse per week and that would not make the snake 200 grams. (not that a snake that size should be eating a single mouse a week, please dont do that )

I just figured that an appropriate sized rat, one that gives them a good sized bulge, would be about 10% of the body weight or close to it. I'm getting a scale the next time I go to wal-mart so i'll get an accurate weight on them. My best guess would be that she's over 700 grams but we shall see.
