Feeder mice/rat size comparison

railrider1920 Jan 10, 2007 01:28 PM

Hi folks,
I was wondering if anyone would tell me if there is a chart or something that shows the different sizes of mice and rats, from smallest to largest. Or is there a thread that covers this out there that I can't find?
For example:
small mouse pinkie
regular mouse pinkie
peachfuzz pinkie(?)
rat pinkie
rat pup
fuzzy mouse
fuzzy rat pup(?)

Hope that this makes sense
Thanks,
Rob

Good call. I'd like to know that too. Maybe an outline of each type or some other such chart?

This feeder site has a picture of all the various sizes of mice and rats lined up next to each other (and a few gerbils too).

RodentPro has photos of their mice and rats next to coins (dimes, quarters, etc.). They also list the length of the food item in inches and the weight in grams. Keep in mind that there is variation in size of pinky mice and rats - even within the same litter of babies.
