I can't see how a still forming rat could have the same calcium as a full grown rat even by percentages.

So ask the people who did the study posted above. Ask RP if they just stole their data.

Kevin and Josh, both should know to do more research instead of taking a leap of faith based on conjecture. Get to the source. Ask the source.

I used to feed my boa pink rats from day one, on the rats are best train. But switched to mice last season with amazing results, my babies are 10xs healthier, with less problems, better feeding responses. I now feed mice for the first 9-14 months then switched to weaned rats. I like the results I see, never been one for fast growing but my main decision changer was just how easier it is to start them and have thriving babies on mice hoppers instead of rat pinks. They switch over to rats without hesitation. Nutritionally I have no clue the numbers, just basing this off of what I see in my collection of boas
Mice to Rats and yes I occasionally feed my females a nice rabbit..

What are you talking about Aaron? I never took a leap of faith. I have been skeptical. I am also almost positive that a 500g rat is different nutritionally than a 50g rat. Fat stores vitamins and minerals so the higher fat content would change the mineral content.

And if you did read the rest of the thread, then you would have seen that I and others did respond to the poster regarding his question. In other words, you seem to be the one wanting nothing but a fight, since you contributed nothing else to this thread.

read all of my posts i have said nothing about fighting or arguing at all really nor have i been doing anything but responding as well as i can to peoples high strung responses. and if i missed it could have just said so without the wall of text
