Agreed. However in this case, where the examples given were a 3g mouse pinky & a 10g rat pinky, you would have to feed 3 mouse pinkies to equal the 1 10g pinky. So yes, you would be feeding 3 times the amount of protein as you would if you only fed 1 mouse pinky, but it would still only be 65% of the total meal. So its still more important to look at percentages - you can't just say you double or triple the amount of protein when the food item is 1/3-1/2 the size.
