hello

ive been feeding my royal on medium mice for a little while now think he might be ready to move one stage up. question is what do i go for? will it be a standard mouse or large mouse? what about the options in terms of offering him rats?

If you're sticking with mice the next size up is large.

Yeah go as Janie says go for a small weaner :)

Rub a mouse all over it after heating and try and get them onto rats. Might take some work but worth it long term

Go for rats asap, you`ll also find that size names aren`t always relevent as most shops have no control over their deliveries, when i buy my food i just ask to look in the freezer and pick the relevent size that i need
