Good progress! At that size, however, you might be able to go *slightly* larger on the meals, or slightly more often. I feed my 85-grammers ever seven days. They channel it all into growth at that age.

I don't think I'd go any larger, the hoppers leave larger bulges on him than rat pups do on my retic, takes 2-3 days for the bulge to dissipate. With how large meals are, and how long it takes the bulge to go away, I think it would be best to stick to the 10 day schedule. They're larger than what I'm comfortable with, but most of my hoppers were on the larger end of things. They're averaging 9-11 grams each. I've already fed off the few 5 and 6 gram mice I had, which is what he's been getting for the past month or two.

OK, fair enough. Good luck!

Maybe once they become a more reasonable size I'll step back down to every 7 days, he's only been eating every 10 days for 3-4 months. The other 3-4 months I had him he ate every 7 days. I figured BRBs grow at about the same rate as BCI (2'-3' at a year, 3'-4' at 2, etc.) that a similar feeding schedule should be fine. It's really only a 3 day difference.

Makes sense. Good luck!
