Ifrit is 3'10'' and weighed 720 grams last week - he looks a little on the thin side, but not excessively so my any means, but a little fattening up would be nice. I offered him a jumbo mouse last week, and I know that moving can be stressful for them so wasn't expecting too much, but he took it without hesitation. His ideal prey size should be around 85 grams - bigger than a jumbo mouse!! So I defrosted a weaner rat today (bought for Monty, but figured I'd try one on Ifrit), and he almost had my bloody hand off with his eagerness! As I put Ifrit in one end of the feeding box, I was trying to get the rat out of the bag at the other end - Ifrit must have got a whiff of it and literally charged down the box and lunged at the rat before I'd even got it out of the bag and my hand out of the way! Needless to say, I think Ifrit is converted [:)] A few more weeks on weaners and I'll bump him up to small rats, which will be more fitting of his weight.
