Change Food?

[Britt/Matt]

hey everyone
so gertrude is now weighing at 190g(weighed about 2weeks ago and is in shed now so cant update till done), and is eating an adult mouse on sun and one on wed. is that enough or should i change to small rats one a week or any other suggestions

[Daybreaker]

Adult mice to small rats is a big jump IMO. Most of the small rats I get from RP are roughly 50+ grams, and I wouldn't feed one to a 190 gram baby personally. Rat pups/weaners every 5-7 days should do you fine.

If you want to try switching to rats, a fuzzy rat would be about the right size. I would suggest feeding only once a week, regardless of the size or prey...

yea i didnt think so,but shes my first bp and want to make sre i feeding properly and know when to switch, she just looks bigger and seems like she always hungry. im going to re weigh after shed cuz i think our scale is wrong(buy new one). she roughly 10 months old now

My guy weighed 156 g, have four mice left, and I ordered some rat fuzzies last week.
