[Pookie]

ANIMAL, To post a pic try looking at the "how to" forum. I looked there and found a nice explaination on how to post. I'll also try to post a pic when i have time to take one I'm curious to see yours, how old is she?

Animal I would deffinately step up the feeding a bit. Mine will soon be taking two 40g rats for a while.

Rev how big are the mice in Texas???? The biggest mice I ever have are at most 30g and those are retired breeders. I guess everything is bigger in Texas eh? These 40g rats are not much bigger then an adult mouse but they are. I'm not menthioning that I use rats because of the size difference just beacause as you mentiond right now there is very little difference. I menthioned rats because I feel that the sooner a boid that will be eating rats as an adult is switched to them the better.
Cheers,
Trevor

Try switching over to hopper rats for a 7 month old BRB.... not FUZZIES!! :\

Trevor, I usually buy from rodentpro. Their jumbo mice are 35-45 grams and buying 500 at a time and I only pay 0.53 USD per mouse.

Here's a pic of her. So now that you can see her size and she's also able to eat F/T mice (horray!) What size should i upgrade to next?

pookie, if you can weigh the size mice she's eating now, if they run 25+grams you'll be moving to weanling/small rats next probably in the 40-50 gram range (Walmart carries an electronic scale with both gram and ounce read outs, $29.95 USD very handy). It's hard to give sizes because they vary between folks but a gram is always a gram. (scale will also allow you track your animals growth up to 4.5 lbs). BTW if she's sucking down adult mice with no problems you might go ahead and up her again now.
