If you never feed them more than jumbo rats as adults, they will not reach their full potential. Just a thought...



Take for example... my 1 year old ball was fed regularly and had increased food sizes when applicable and is now eating small rats.



An acquaitances 2 year old ball being fed weekly is half the size/weight of mine since it is never fed more than hoppers, though on a consistent weekly schedule. (Don't worry, I talked to the owner and adult mice are now the new menu item. You don't want to nutrient starve a growing animal!)
