What is the average size and weight or mass of a pinky? what the same of an adult mouse?

If you compare a pinkies contents by mass you may find some close or suprising figures to adults. The idea is that the pinky is a smaller animal, much much smaller, therefore the animal eating it needs more than one, many if it applies.

I myself dont use pinkies much as its hard to make use of them with the size of monitors I have, everything I have either eats insects only, occasional fuzzies and pinkies now, adults, jumbos, or larger meals. Soon I may have pinky eaters again.

Consider the liquid calcium content of the pinky mouse, yes it dries up and wont show up the same, but absorbs faster.

Its fine to add occasional supplementation I guess to rodents as Ive done it in the past with no negative effects, but theres a fine point where doing, and over doing occurs, I cant tell you where that point is for a certain size or weight or species of monitor, it may work on one and not on another.

One problem may occur in the quality of the rodents being fed, that can be a problem, depends what they are fed, how well they are fed etc, after all, it all transfers to the babies.
