My BP is about 135g, and about the width of a quarter. He looks fatter than that, but when I held the coin up to him that's how wide his back is across the top (I haven't handled him at all since he at since he's digesting).
He only just arrived on Tuesday morning and was very docile, but very quickly started giving me what I would call hungry eyes over the next couple days (coiled neck in S shape and avidly watching me through the glass). Thursday was his feed day at the breeder so I'm guessing his internal alarm clock was ringing. Last night he took a f/t mouse fuzzy, but I know that's too small (my husband picked it up at the store to be helpful but didn't know how the sizes work).
I just don't have any mice to compare to the coin on hand atm, and was hoping you guys would have some suggestions on exactly what I should get him. He is still giving me hungry eyes and pokes his head out of his hide to watch when he is not hanging out on his plant.
The breeder said he is eating weaned mice, but also said no retired breeder mice. I'm not sure if that's because they are bigger, or because they are worn out (?). They also said not hoppers.
Thoughts? Is "weaned" a broad term like "rat pup" or is it pretty specific?
