I've always fed by weight - because I used to breed my own rodents. I find it really frustrating now to go off of the "small," "med," & "large" that are sold everywhere; there doesn't appear to be any standard! The size I want most is right in between what my current supplier calls "small" and "med" rats.



My scale is very accurate, I just have to do some math to figure out what everybody talks about in grams because my scale will only measure in pounds, to the hundredth (not ounces). The smalls I just bought (frozen) seem to be anywhere between 0.05 and 0.08; my mediums are sitting around 0.41; in grams, my math says my smalls are 22.7 to 36.3, and my mediums are around 186.
