I know this may have been covered before but I'm after a bit more info, so I apologize now if any of you have to repeat yourselves.

I'm looking at buying a Butter & then a Pinstripe later when funds allow to keep in rubs. I understand that a 9 Ltr rub will be fine while they are young & then a 40'ish Ltr for adults. But when do I start to change the size of the rubs? I guess it depends on the length of the Royal? Would going from 9 to 20 & then 40 sound about right depending on the length?

Thanks in advance.

Great, thanks for clearing that up for me. Saves buying loads of different sizes then :)
