    It depends on size. If they are to big your over feeding which in itself isn't that bad for a baby, but can cause them to skip feedings so doesn't always work great. Feeding the correct amount of food at proper intervals is best to keep them on schedule.

    I would recommend offering rats of appropriate size and feeding one every five days. They can eat more and some will eat twice that but a steady feeder is better than one that eats a lot then is off feed for three weeks.

    You should try and switch her over to rat fuzzies now. I have a beautiful little girl that's only 6 months old and she's eating two rat fuzzies a week. soon I'll put her on rat Hoppers.
