Is this rat too big to feed my ball?

[Hannahrenee]

Thanks for posting this question! I actually recently got my first ball, and went to the pet store and they recommended small frozen rat for him. Even though I had done a ton of research before I got him, through the internet and YouTube, I wasn’t sure how much he weighed and didn’t know. Bought a scale and turns out he is only 320g. I was going to ask if the small rats were too big as well even though he didn’t have too much trouble just took him a good while to get it down. So next issue, none of the pet stores around me cary anything smaller than a small rat. Where do you guys get your feeders? Any reliable places you order from? Thanks!

It's really hard to find good sizes at chain petstores. I get feeders from a speciality reptile store. Search for reptile stores near you, but if there aren't any you can order feeders online at places like feedersource.com. The shipping can be pretty pricey, but you can buy in bulk to save money. Another way to get feeders for much cheaper is to go to reptile shows. Repticon is coming up for a lot of states, so see when it's coming near you. I know that feedersource goes to all repticons and the prices are reasonable.
