Hatchling Weight Gain - Am I missing something?

[MrLang]

Maybe I am unclear about what the difference between a pup and a fuzzy is? I breed ASF, not rats, so I don't have the best understanding of rat sizing XD

The rats I have in my freezer are between 20-30g. They just seem so big next to my tiny hatchlings!

A fuzzy would be like a pinky with pattern and peach fuzz with eyes totally shut. A pup would have mobility and maybe the eyes cracking open and also called a crawler - they kind of wobble around when they move or 'make a break for it' and then tucker out and collapse. A hopper would have the eyes open and be able to move freely.

IMO feed the 20-30g that's what I gave mine at 60g and they gobbled them up. Then again, I made this thread to see if anyone was going to tell me a good reason NOT to do that.
