I would go to Petco and grab the smallest of the small rat size you can feel in the bag and thaw and offer that in a week or two after your last offer. If that doesn't work I would wait another week and go to offering about 3 mice. You can work on going back to small rats later by mixing the two (mice and small rat) together in one bag frozen besides each other. (mix up the smells)

So I guess where my confusion might be (corrected rat size, they are mediums) the chart says a female over 1000 grams would eat a medium. He is over 1000 (1187 when first found and he was a little thin, that info is in a reply but not in the original?). Is a medium still too big for him?
