the problem is he had a huge growth spurt. I only weigh him after a poo so its been a month sense his last poo. ANd he’s grown a ton! THe problem is the rats that i ordered are only size 28-33 grams.
If i follow the 10 to 15 percent rule feeding one rat at 28 to 33 isnt enough. I did that last week not knowing his weight and in 3 days he was telling me he was hungry. ANd i will never feed him every 3 days. I will only feed every 5 to 7 days I given the research I’ve done.

So the question is can I feed him two of those sized rats to hit his 10 to 15 percent rule? every 7 days? If of course he will take the second one.

Please someone help me. His feeding day is tomorrow and I like to thaw out in the fridge over night.

Thank you
Also I should add I cant get new bigger small rats 🐀 until 2 weeks from now and I have a lot of rat pups and weaned rats left that i ordered from big cheese which where very underweight. I ordered weaned and got majority of the bag smaller version of pups in size and
i need to use these or figure out something. But i will never do anything that could hurt my boy he’s my family. Love the little danger noodle a bunch.
