Since we are already discussion the switch, what is about the right size/length/age to switch across to rats? I have two 4 mnth old CBB Normals eating an adult mouse each, once a week. I have watched the adult mice go from a bulge in the belly initially to almost un-noticeable after feedings these days.

I know they could handle a juvenile rat but my concern here is for overfeeding. I guess my question is how much is too much?

Also, should I just use two mice each as opposed to a rat?

Thanks...
