My male had eaten every 4 to 5 days on small rats but has not eaten since 11/26/04. He was 804 grams before his last meal and is now 828 grams. He's a little over a year old now. My female now outweighs him by about 20 grams and she's going on 9 months. I don't think ( and of course i'm no expert) that you should worry about how your bp's size compares to others. As long as it's not losing weight he should be fine.

If they are eating and gaining weight although it is a small amount they should be fine. Also at 220g I would up the meal from a fuzzy rat to a weaned rat. For that size I use weaned rats that are the size of a jumbo mouse 40 - 60g. It is working well and the rat eaters are growing well. If you scroll down to the post about my x-mas presents all of the females are rat eaters and between 190g and 206g and they are all eating weaned rats with no problem.
