    Yep

    I initially bought feeders too small for my girl (small mice), so I fed her two for her second feeding with me -- she struck and swallowed both of them with no fuss. I gave her one at a time obviously, waited a couple minutes after she swallowed the first one comfortably before offering the second

    The combined weight of them was probably 20-ish grams and she weighed 161g at the time

    Now she's on rat pups and takes one per feeding (weekly)

    She's around 181g now so I'm aiming for the 10-15% range in food weight vs her weight...seems to be a good rule of thumb... keeps her satisfied for the week
