    At 73 grams your snake can eat a small adult mouse or a fuzzy rat (those are between 6 to 14 days) for the rest you need to eyeball it.

    While true that their can be a difference in weight with feeders that are of the same name, appellation is based on age not the weight.

    Pink Mice and Rat 0 to 5 days

    Fuzzy rat and mice 6 to 14 days

    Hopper mice 15 to 20 days - Rat Pup 15 to 20 days

    Weanlings mice and rat 21 to 27 days

    Adult mice 28 days and over - Small rat 28 days to 32 days

    etc

    Based on the links in your first post, they're probably going to be a little on the small side (10g was the max), but it's not a big deal. You can always double up the last meal or two if he outgrows them, since you only ordered 10.
