Medium Fuzzy Mice (5.5-6.5 grams)
Hopper Mice (6.5-10 grams)
Small/Medium Adult Mice (10-20 grams)
Large Adult Mice (20-40 grams)
Jumbo Mice (40 grams)
Rats:
Pinky Rats (3-8 grams)
Small Fuzzy Rats (8-15 grams)
Large Fuzzy Rats (15-30 grams)
Weanling Rats (30-50 grams)
Small Rats (50-100 grams)
Medium Rats (100-200 grams)
Large Adult Rats (200-300 grams)
Jumbo Rats (300-450 grams)
Super Jumbo Rats (450-800 grams)
