I always buy hopper to medium rats.....I hate trying to feed large ones.....and I have had some huge balls....

they digest slow enough and take everything there is from the prey items....some people throw large rats every week or more...they get BIG balls...with itty bitty heads and too much fat in them.......they also get a large pile of not 100% digested fecal matter every week or two.....more than needed...

....anyways.....as the other person said...some people's adult is 800 grams while others is 3800 grams....and more...

...medium at most to start
