Females are a bit trickier, but for pet-only, you can do roughly the same thing but till 2000-2500g.
    Yea I was worried that I might be jumping the gun on this. I might back him down to 10 and just see how he does. The big concern was he got big enough that I thought he'd do alright on smalls, and I mean they're small smalls my rat breeder is fantastic and lets me hand pick what I need. I swapped him over and then started worrying that I was putting too much him too quickly. Like I said, probably overthinking but that's why I ask folks with a metric ton more experience than me lol.
