i agree with BE...

you will end up having to feed him/her rats when its a adult so as soon as you make the change the better, cos as you have probaly heard that they are notoriusly fussy eaters...

here is a guide if your curious about nutritional values...

I have one at about 120g that I'm going to move onto Rat Fluffs as soon as I can get some. A lot of places go from pups to weaners which is too big a jump imo.
