I have a link too, although it doesn't cover things as well as Dan's did. Still, it's interesting and may lead someone toward more useful information/research.

(click on "Basic Biological and Physiological Values" although for anyone raising rats, mice, rabbits etc, there are other sections with good info too.)
As for a mouse and rat that are of equal size, remember that there are nutritional differences between pinks and hoppers/adults within one species of rodent (due mostly to bone development, I believe, but maybe other factors too) and because of their size difference in general, rat pinks would be about the same size as an older, more developed mouse.
