well i thought about trying it every 2 weeks bringing it down gradually and he actually told me giv it 2 weaner rats at a time when feeding it. ill post a pic of him when i get him back to show you a size comparison :) |

Every 3 weeks is a bit infrequent, I'd be feeding weekly at that weight myself. |

well my bro took him today and the bloke said they was feeding him every 3 weeks so im not so worried cos this uwd have been the 3rd week also the weight loss wud have been from the rat he ate 3 days before i got him so i feel ok about it but he`s keeping hold of him to make sure he eats sumthin |

That seems a big weight loss but maybe your scales a are wrong weigh again in a week and check |

They will always give feeding a break but that wieght loss was quite dramatic if it was correct. |

Fecal sample to the vets for parasites.
I really think the most likely cause is that one of your weighing was incorrect somehow, try again next week. |

he was eating weaner rats once a week and the scales are audio so quite accurate to the gram tbh but ill double check again nd how do i check for worms? |

Its only been 2 weeks, do you know what it was eating before you got it and how often? |

That is a huge loss for two weeks. Has he pooed in that time?
Are you 100% certain on the weights? |
