Has anyone ever done a feed four days after the last one?

I have only had Peanut on one rat pup for the last three feeds at five day intervals, but i know he is hungry and i am planning on his next meal being a weaner rat, everytime i go in his viv he is out looking at me, would it be ok to give him the weaner one day earlier?

before he got ill, he ate like a pig..and now he is showing signs of going back to being a greedy little monkey...but he is only a baby, probably not got all those hormone things kicked in yet...anyways, he is sitting on his tree thing now, i guess hoping something might wander by for him to catch

How old is Hope Daz?

Hope is a 06 female...

although she has not eaten in 7 weeks she is not losing much weight at all. She is down about 39g and had a poop in that time aswell.
