I found larger meals left them digesting for too long and more lethargic and the growth rate wasn't as steady or as good as smaller meals. The snake wasted more of the meal.
This is just my findings and doesn't make it scientific but it's what I like to see in my collection.

Went back and Reread an older post, alright makes more sense now. My girlfriends picking up some food for me on her way cross state to see me. I'll try to get ahold of a scale to get a good perspective of what 10-15% of Zelda is, and what it should look like as far as amount.
Just throwing some thoughts around it seems the easiest way to monitor it would be with a digital scale. Eyeballing it likely wouldn't be accurate maybe the mice weight is '+ -'at the time. I believe I am catching on now.
