Rat weaners can really vary in size.

Glad he enjoyed his first rat.

Mine are moving up to rats soon as large mice are not big enough now!

my boy was on extra large mice before going to the rats but the rats are bigger than the xl mice, about another quarter of the size (if that helps)

I get mine from an online supplier and they can vary in size alot so it's not a problem.

I wont wait till they are XL mice, the sooner they are on rats the better. Plus that petshop you get your mice from has very dodgy size mice. Their small mice are nearly the same size as their large mice!

Thats why I now breed my own, I can get the exact size I need rather than a choice of 3 sizes they supply :)

We are lucky to have not only the shop nearby but the expertise off the owner and staff at our disposal. :yes::yes::yes:

Expertise is also something that pet stores in my are generally lacking
