    That being said, when I was collecting frozen rats the other day, I mentioned I may try my growing male on a size up soon, from large weaner to small rat, and the shop owner was telling me about a mate of his who only feeds his males large weaners and said they were massive... so whatever works for you and yours I suppose!!
    I'll probably forget by the time you've read this...

    I try to go by physical size rather than weight when picking feeders. You're probably right thinking a weaned rat would work here but I've followed Thomas' BP journey for awhile and I figured his BP might be a tad smaller so a pup might be a better option at first. Weaned rats are obviously an option too, but you just have to go off the size of your animal.

    I'm always a little hestitant to offer feeder size advice because my store might sell a small rat that another store considers a weaned, or a medium that some other place might call a small, etc etc. Seems like every shop has a different opinion on what qualifies as a weaned/small/medium lol so I'd rather just go in and see myself.
