Squeeeee!!!!!
Luigi ate!!!!

Excuse the poor quality pics. I was trying my best to not disturb him






Sooo the pet store said that once I know he's eating well, I could try switching him to guinea pigs. That they're better than rats. Is this true?

Re: Squeeeee!!!!!
I'm not opposed to that! I have a feeling rats are cheaper anyway

Congrats! What size rat is that? Personally I wouldn't feed guineas as they are high in fat, like Trent said.

I think that that size is good for him for now, no?

I've never even see a rat this big so I can't imagine a rat 3x that size

You should see the jumbos I feed most of my animals and 3 of them are still growing. I'll be switching them to rabbits once the jumbos run out.

My babies are growing up lol

It looks good, but to know for sure we need a body shot to see how big a lump it left.

Re: Squeeeee!!!!!

And my hubby got excited about feeding one ordering session, and ordered some guinea pigs.....every single critter big enough to eat one snubs their nose at it. They hate them *lol* bring out a rat...and everyone eats!

Re: Squeeeee!!!!!
He's all curled up so it's hard to see and I didn't want to move him, obviously. Here are 2 shots, but I doubt you'll see anything
