Mine go on Rats from hatching and are usually onto Rat Weaners at around 200g. At 500g it would have no trouble size-wise with a Rat Weaner.

Is it losing weigh?

it could be the weather

but at that weight you should be looking at feeding him 50g weaners, which is a medium rat weaner...

just keep an eye on him as long as he does not lose weight and is ok in himself then he will be fine..

If he's not losing weight he's fine, just doesn't feel like eating at the moment. As Anne says, could well be the weather.
