prey size

[bigbosky]

I have been feeding my carpet rat pinkies about 6-10 grams, they are starting to look a little to small for him. Is there an approximate percentage of body weight I should be feeding him. He is currently 56 grams

I dont go by weight but by girth in comparison to the snake, my carpet eats prey that is three to four times the girth of him. Carpets are well known for taking HUUUGE prey items :)

10% is what I use for a steady growth.
