Alice, the wandering Pastel weighs over 1500 grams and is "intimidated" by large rat pups.

He has eaten two of them since returning from his 3 week slitherabout but normally he prefers a large, fat mouse.

OTOH, 800 gram Kelly will scarf down two rat pups with gusto and still ask for more.

My 'rescue' Peggy was being fed mice and weighed less than 1000 grams when I got her and she slammed medium rats like a maniac.

She's gained around 400 grams since then and will eat small/medium rats which 'look too big for her' with terrifying speed and efficiency.

Norma weighs 1500 grams but won't eat anything larger than a small rat and never eats more than one at a time, even though she could eat much larger food.

They can be really weird about their grub.
