Interesting! Well, even more evidence to back up my point then. They don't need the big mediums and large rats. Like I said, three meals a month for my females is considered good for me.
And as you said, if males aren't busy searching for food and just sitting in tubs, they certainly don't need excess haha.
I think this raises another debate that people love to have.... Breeding females need to be at least 1500g before you start pairing... Wrong! 6% of 1200g means the female would only lose 72g throughout the breeding process. Not a huge deal. Even if they were losing 10%, it wouldn't be a significant amount of body weight. Because what they lose is probably just fat or water weight anyways lol. I stopped eating dairy less than six months ago and have lost 15% of my body weight, without changing anything else about my diet or lifestyle. Does that mean you won't pair me to any of the hot mom's with tattoos and piercings like you did last year, uncle skippy?!?!![]()
