When to wean?

Should I go by weight at all? Out of curiousity I weighed them and they're all between 42 and 45 grams. Couldn't help but notice they qualify as "smalls" on rodentpro lol.

I just go by age and my own experience since my weights on our feeders are always well over what Rodentpro weighs out for each age.

I've noticed that, all of mine are well above the weight range for rodentpro and the vast majority of the other online frozen companies. I wonder what the difference is?

Keep in mind that taking care of a small colony the way most of us do is just not possible with 100000 of thousands animals.

Difference is likely in the care (Less stress, better diet, rest for the breeders etc)

*deep sighs* I figured that was probably the case. Wonder how large you could get and still take care of them the same way....We are headed for fairly large, as we are looking to make a business out of it, but I'd rather not give up quality along the way.
I can't help but wonder if there's any realism to possibly being able to charge slightly more for better quality....my mind claims no though.
