Pretty much by look/age...

Pinkies: no hair, eyes closed
Fuzzies: little bit of hair, eyes closed
Hopper: full coat of hair, eyes open, completely mobile, soon to be or recently weaned
Adult: enough said

There is no set standard. It varies from place to place.

yes king thats what i was running into to
thats why i started raising them myself
I get to pick the size i want then sell the rest off to the pet store
so now i was wondering about the sizing so i dont sell them the wrong size lol
Linds gave me the easiest way of determining the size thanks again Linds

a site i found was
www.rodentpro.com
it has a nice explanation and pics of sizes
but Linds explanation is a little easier to use
just thought i'd post this one for others to try
............thanks Lance....................
