I think I might have asked this question before, but I can't remember , so I will post it again!
I am stepping up from Rat pinkies to Rat Fuzzy's. Zahara was eating 3 pinkies at a time for the last 2 feeds, and now I will be feeding her about 15 gram Rat Fuzzy's. Now my question is how many should I feed? On 04/06/09 Zahara's weight was 110g.
Thanks guys and gals...

I went out today and bought 6 Artic Mice Frozen Fuzzies. Out of curiosity I weight the fuzzies and their weight was between 4-6g. Is this correct? I thought they were suppose to be about 15g! Is it because the rat fuzzies weight is 15g and mice are different? In this case should I feed it 2 of the mice? And where can I get Rat Fuzzies from? My local PetsMart only sells mice. There is still a PetCo and another PetsMart I am going to check out. Thanks
