    I'm thinking your description of a med rat may be different

    That is a hell of a lot bigger than what I feed my 542g and he is fed 10-15% of his body weight. I have just fed my last two otherwise I would have uploaded a photograph.

    Either or, he was 618g full and 542g empty. A lot of people also use the 10-15% of the body weight test sometimes a little more (20% ish for example) if he is eating it and no sign or regurge though maybe he should be on that size prey(?) I honestly have no idea! You can go by either measurement as far as I have read/been told

    Can you post a picture of him, I can't imagine he's that wide
    My girl is about 415 not far from yours and there's no way that she is that wide.
    And I do feed by body size not the 10-15%
