Based on mice free all Rat diet .......

Adjusting prey to size as growth progress's mind you....

7-10 days birth to 6 months

14 days 6 months to 1 year

21 days from 1 year till death(18-20 yrs)(Confirmed WC Hog Islands exceeding 20 years captive when not fed like their keepers) LOL!!

It will out live anything fed by todays accepted norm by several years.

The above was suggested towards a goal of a long living,slow growing(yet thriveing) PET!
