Hello all,

My growing Blackthroat is now eating eight mice twice per day. I'm extremely grateful for his hardiness, compared to the iguanids.

I'm wondering if I can start feeding two rats of the same total mass as eight mice, twice per day. He pops those mice down like I toss M&M's into my mouth. What do you think? Is this a good time to switch to appropriate-size rats? I do all frozen-thawed with the prey.

Roger
