hi everyone just about to order some rats to try cleo out for the first time ever  im actual so excited lol  im on triple 8's site atm and im just wondering what type should i chose?
Cleo is a 6 month old royal female. She's currently in like a 16inch faunarium type thing & she's outgrowing it reallyyyyy fast  she gets fed once a week ( every sunday  ) and shes on medium mice, well thats what the store in glasgow (Neon Gecko) calls them
I'm really wanting her on to rats as soon as to be honest as i've heard they're alot more nutricious & stuff. and to be quite honest with you a medium mouse is not really enough - in my oppinion. I've never moved a snake up a stage on mice/rodents, infact, cleo is my first lil baby & i love her lol any help would be great  thanks, brooke & cleo xx |

yeah trying the fuzzy rats or rat fluffs would be best. you might be one if the lucky ones and find that she takes to them straight away. good luck |

i was meaning the mice/rats not the royal lol 
so if you know your medium mice are, for example, 25g, then look for rats of a similar weight  |

At 250g she should be fine on 30g rat weaners/large fluffs. |

i weighed cleo today and she's only 250g but shes really thick girth wise im going to use up the last 2 medium mice & get some fuzzys during the week by the way, thanks again x |
