i need to know were i can get pictures of dead rats so i know when there hoppers small medium things like that and i've look at rodentpro.com i what a picture that there all together pinkys fuzzies small medium large then jumbo all adive would be greatfull

Hello, Under the photo gallery, if you go to feeders section, there are some pics by the user "dumerils". I don't remember seeing any with all the sizes together, but he/she does use references for size and he/she shows how they are packed. There is also pics of a euthanization chamber. Hope this helps. Also, here is a pic of my 9 ft retic eating a Jumbo Rat. It is a close up, so you can kinda get an idea of how big a Jumbo can be. This rat would have actually been classified as a collosal, but my rat distriutor does not call anything larger than a Jumbo. Enjoy and good luck.

The site listed below has pictures of all the sizes, for mice and rats I beleive.

Some where one this forum there is a discussion about weights and what sizes they correspond to. That is probably the most acurate method. If you want a visual, try G and G rodent farms site. They show them packed in zip locks so you can get a good idea of their size compared to something that you know.

Oh my! I knew my male rats were huge...didn't know they would be considered Super Jumbo Rats.... The smallest is 500g and his brother is 600g...I guess it just takes time to get male rats this big.
