What size/weight should the royal reach to feed him rats.

If your going to feed live it may be worth having a quick watch of this video

However you could dispatech the rats yourself before hand if you need to.

You have to be more careful when feeding live rats, they are strong little gits with a nasty bite.

Thank u, i'll see if i will be able to get rats for Blitz.

A hatchling can eat rat fluffs (though most go for pups). I've had 60g hatchlings feeding on rat fluffs from day one.

You've got a chance of some rats for him? Cool! Depends on the size of the rat - a royal of any size can eat rats but the rat should weigh around 10/15% of his bodyweight or you can feed a rat whose girth is no larger than Blitz's.

from as soon as they match the needed size for the prey your offering.
