Lilian, my new little BCI

I'm not sure about being big enough for a fuzzy rat, but maybe a fuzzy or hoper mouse. Even if you went off of the 10-15% rule (which is too much food for a boa), the bigger end is much too big. Mine came to me at a month old and 80 grams, quite a bit bigger than a newborn, and a rat fuzzy would still have been 12-24% of her weight.

Smaller meals are always best, so you want a meal that leaves a bulge with no scale separation for babies and no bulge for adults.

I've never been a big fan of weighing food items. I just go with what seems to be the right width. I also wouldn't call a rat pink a 'bag of water." Their protein to fat ratio might be more than a slightly older animal, but I can very much assure you that they have fully developed organs and are nutritionally relevant.
