    Re: Feeding question, please help!

    I actually haven't gotten a chance to weigh him yet since I've only had him for about two weeks. Any suggestions on good options for scales? Hes fairly young, maybe five to six hundred grams?

    If he's that big, you should stop messing around with mice and start feeding him weaned rats...maybe even smalls in the 50-70 gram range.

    You can get a good scale from a variety of places. I use this one:

    But you can also get them at office supply places like Office Max and Staples.

    He may be less than that but I'll definitely invest in a scale. Are the weaned rats the same as rat pups? I'm not too familiar with all of those yet. Thanks so much for all of your help!

    That 7001 is a great scale, it's what I use and comes with a tub to hold in your snake/mouse

    You can get a digital food scale from target or walmart for 20-25 bucks and that works just fine
