It can also apply to juvies. Basically, it may apply until you get to medium rats. Then the bp can stay on medium rats all the way through adulthood. Sick or abnormal snakes of course have different requirements.Originally Posted by Neal
Different suppliers vary in weight ranges but rat fuzzies can go from 10g to 20g, rat pups from 20g to 30g. Mediums start out at 80g and can go up to 180g depending on supplier.
Now that I've been doing this for years, I can pretty much eyeball my rat stock and pick out which ones to feed. But when I was just starting out, I used a scale.
Of course, these are just guidelines especially for those just starting out. Each bp owner adjusts these according to their own particular situation.
To the OP: they also sell frozen rats in PetSmart.
