I would also suggest a vet visit for a check up. Even if he is healthy it will help to establish a base line for the future. Fecal exam too.
    OP stated that he has already had something like 5 meals and want to make sure that they aren't feeding him too often, which would seem to be every 5 days at the moment. He is currently eating F/T medium rats.

    I've heard of people not reading entire threads before posting but not even reading the whole post in question before giving advice? I think that's a new one. LOL Sorry, I had to say it.
