A 170-200 gram rat should be plenty for them if they're 5-6ft. ~250-300 grams will be good if they're 7ft, I believe. 7-10 days will be a good schedule until they're back up to weight, but then you'll want to feed every 3-5 weeks.

Maybe your sizing is different in the states, but the bags of large rats I get, on the bag it states 175-274g, and I'm lucky if even half of the rats in there are over the 200g weight. Most of them seem to be on the much smaller end, just measuring the bag I'm thawing now, 6-8 of them were < 180g.
It might sound like a lot for them, but they don't even get a bulge after they eat. And if you didn't catch, I'm not feeding them the largest large rats, I'm feeding the small larges (150-180g); it's the equivalent to a large medium.
Not to sound like a ****, but I'm pretty sure I know what I'm doing if things are going well. I really am not a fan of being told repetitive stuff I already know/am already doing. Criticism is welcome, if needed.
