I thought that when i weighted it but i bought them as rat pups and they dont have fur or very little so just put rat pup as that was what they was sold as..Originally Posted by bcr229
il look at getting some NutriBac the others i took from the guys collection would probably benefit from it also.. they are small for age as one 2015 female is 1400grams she is slightly under weight but nothing that a few good meals wont fix i think the others if they stayed in his care would have gone the same way.
He does have a multi vitamin in his water they all do and he has a calcium dust on is food the vets did recommend that, didn't say anything about a probiotic but il look into getting that thank you
and for hydration he does drink a lot iv seen him drink often as i think he didn't have regular access to water but the vets will be doing blood tests once he has a bit more strength
But we was very surprised for his small frame and his doesn't eat rodents only sometimes eats chicks as soon as a rat went in range he struck it coiled and then ate it and was looking for more, but we wont be giving him anything more than that as don't want to over whelm his system hence why i ordered rat pups but got what i did i also believe his skin wouldn't hold up to well to being over stretched by to much.
as for the food because the rat "pups" are 50 grams i have some ASF weaner's that are smaller around 34 grams but they are full fur would it be best to use them or just stick with the rats as they have little to no fur
