    I would agree. Anything over 100 grams here gets fed adult mice, or the equivalent rat size. Do you have access to mice, or are they just as far away?

    Perfect feeding size

    All the pet stores here sell frozen mice then the smallest rat being larger then a adult mouse. Pet stores here do not sell smaller rats like rat pups i have to go to a herp store 40 minutes away.

    That's the same way it is here too. 20 miles for live adult mice/rats that are outrageously priced, or 40 mins to the next big town with live whatever they have in stock that day I started breeding my own rats because of that. I still have to buy some live mice though because I have a couple mousers. I've switched a lot over to f/t because my rats can't keep up with all the snakes.

    My 102 Gr baby just took down a 20 gr mouse. Was a bit nerve racking but she didn't have any issues. Well, she's been cranky ever since, probably feeling a little over full. Longer digesting I imagine. Gonna let her go 10 days before offering her food again.
