    At this point I feed every 7-10 days. I kinda let him dictate when I feed him. When I see him poking his head out I feed that night or the next.

    If your boy is looking for food around day 6 I would stick to a 7 day schedule as long as his appetite remains the same.

    No need to apologize, we were ALL new keepers once. I wish I had this forum as a resource when I started out!!!
    Asking questions shows you care, so ask all you need to. The more we know about our pets the better we can care for them.

    Oh....and stick to small rats. No need to upsize to the 10-15% rule of thumb once males are on smalls.
    Not sure if that's something you were thinking about or not, just figured I'd throw it out there.
